hello,
i have a file named "sxase" in my home directory.on checking the properties i find that the file type is ".mp4".i am looking for a java code that can tell me the extension for the file name "sxase".As i am working on the project that involves implementation of this code too i dont want any tools such as "TRID" etc
THANKS IN ADVANCE

So, you want a Javascript that will hook into the OS to find out file extension? Is that right?

Give us a heads up on what you are trying to do, so that we may figure out an easier way.

Hello dude thanks for looking into it. Too be specific "I'm not thinking about hooking into the os. If the os can find the file type using a particular code , im asking the algorithm/logic/procedure behind that code so that i could code a similar code in my referred language,pure java for this case not a java script."Will be even more useful if one can come up with the code itself"
