Of course, the file name does not directly correspond to the content, but it often gives a good hint to search for *.wmv, *.flv, *.avi, *.mp(e)g, *.mp3, *.wma, *.exe - and of course all the variations of the extensions with uppercase letters. Also consider *.rar and maybe *.zip for compressed content. If file extensions have been manipulated (rare case), the "file" command can still identify the correct file type. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
