file type from list of folder files

[peterpann]

How can I select file types from a list of files in a folder ? The following didn't work
var f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec);
var fc = new Enumerator(f.Files);
for (; !fc.atEnd(); fc.moveNext() )
{
if ( fc.Type == "JPEG Image" )

You can base it on the file extension, but there are three caveats:

1) The above code will only work in IE,

2) The file extension shouldn't be used as a 100% accurate reflection of the real file type, as ultimately, files can have any extension,

3) Even Windows Explorer gets the file type wrong baed on the extension - if I rename a .PDF to a .JPG, for example, it tells me it is a JPEG Image when clearly it is not.

Hope this helps,
