in thread find junk file
Oh, well, in that case, it's quite simple:
use constant HIGHEST_CHAR_ON_KBD => 126, #These values may differ for +you, depending on where you bought LOWEST_CHAR_ON_KBD => 9; # your keyboard. There are so +me extra, non-keyboard chars in this range, as well. while( <FILE> ) { foreach( split("", $_) ) { if( ( ord($_) > HIGHEST_CHAR_ON_KBD ) || ( ord($_) < LOWEST_CH +AR_ON_KBD) ) { say "It's a binary file"; last; } } }
It isn't the best way of doing things, but it's a start.
Update: I completely forgot about spaces, tabs, carriage returns, and line feeds.
