    Our employees are expected to send time-sheet (which is in excel) to HQ as attachement. It turns out that we receive quite a number of files which has been saved without the extention, so I would like to determine the filetype based on the contents of the file.

    On a linux machine I could use the file-command to give the file-type, but on windows/formativ?

    Regards,
