Thanks, Eric. I shouldn't have a problem with Sarah's method since
these files will not be downloaded from the internet at all.

Hi Chris,
Sarah's answer sounds good (I mean fully reliable) but may appear
unusable with heavy files you download from the internet.
As for us we use another method based on statistics by checking
charToNum's chars.
On Windows, it appears that checking 60 chars and finding more than
3 chars the charToNum of which is less than 9 or greater than 175
gives an "almost" fully reliable result ;-)

Does anyone have a sure fire way to determine if a file is binary
or text?
I have need to create an import utility that will import data from
a text file (csv, tab-delimited, etc) into a database, but I'd
like to check the file before doing anything else just to make
sure it is in fact text and not binary.
Any thoughts?
Best Regards from Paris,
