Hi all,

For a script utility I'm writing I need to determine whether a file is 
pure text or binary. I've had a look at the 'file' utility but it's 
output is inconsistent and it just doesn't work 100% correct. This my 
solution right now.

But, I came to think of that some parts of the KDE API is exported to 
shell scripts(I read somewhere). Perhaps there's a method to determine 
text/binary via the KDE API in some way?

cheers,
Frans
