Re: [LAU] Discovering file format

Once again, thanks everyone As it was only uncompressed files I was looking at 'file' turned out to be the simplest and fastest. I simply redirected the output to create a text file, then picked it up with kwrite. As each entry was on a single line I bulk replaced the unwanted bits with nothing and ended up with a list like this: The_Long_Years 24 bit, 44100 Hz The_Man_With_The_Hat 16 bit, 44100 Hz The_Mystic 16 bit, 44100 Hz The_Piper 16 bit, 44100 Hz The_Storm 24 bit, 48000 Hz ... Who_Cares 16 bit, 44100 Hz Widow 16 bit, 44100 Hz Wimpole 16 bit, 48000 Hz Wires 16 bit, 44100 Hz Yoshimi_Rides_Home 16 bit, 48000 Hz Quite a few surprises! -- It wasn't me! (Well actually, it probably was) ... the hard part is not dodging what life throws at you, but trying to catch the good bits.
