Topic: File extension


  
 File format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A file format is a particular way to encode information for storage in a computer file.
Many file formats, including some of the most well-known file formats, have a published specification document (often with a reference implementation) that describes exactly how the data is to be encoded, and which can be used to determine whether or not a particular program treats a particular file format correctly.
Since files are seen by programs as streams of data, a method is required to determine the format of a particular file within the filesystem—an example of metadata.

 Filename extension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A filename extension is an extra set of (usually) alphanumeric characters that is appended to the end of a filename to allow computer users (as well as various pieces of software on the computer system) to quickly determine the type of data stored in the file.
Filename extensions have been in use for decades, but they have gained common usage because the file systems included with DOS and Windows had severe limitations on filenames for many years.
Therefore, to a user who has file extensions hidden, this may look like a harmless text file rather than a potentially dangerous computer program written in VBScript.

 High-Tech Dictionary File Types
These extensions at the end of a filename refer to the type of file it is. This information is used by your operating system to launch an appropriate program when you click on the filename.
A file that allows Windows to display text and graphics in standard mode on a 286 or 386 computer (filename extension).
A file that makes it possible for HTTP servers to interface with computer programs to provide interactive functions like fill-out forms.

 Help Me Please!
There are other possible indicators of a file's type, including the first several characters in the file for some file types (a few of these are listed on the more complete page about looking into a file).
Lacking that, it might be possible to use the data found in the file to determine what sort of file it is and deduce the program association or, at a minimum, perhaps extract what's important to you in its raw form in order to use within some other program.
Where a file is located, how it was obtained, and the file's date and time can all be used as clues to the nature of the file.

 Computer file extensions help and listing.
A computer file extension is commonly a three characters addition that follows the name of a file.
File used in Windows 3.x to display the graphics on older 286 and 386 computers.
File used in Windows 3.x to display the graphics on later 386, 486 and Pentium computers.

 UMR RefCenter E-Mail Documentation File Extension Standards
The primary reason for this is, most recipients will have email software that recognizes these standard extensions and automatically initiates the software needed to view the file based on the extension.
Most software will save your files with a software specific extension if you don't specify it.
For example, in the filename LETTER.WPD, the extension is WPD, which is standard for WordPerfect 8.x.
http://www.umr.edu/%7Erefcntr/email/extensions.html

  
 Common Internet File Formats
Using.uu as the extension is not required but is considered politely explanatory for what type of file it is. Increasing numbers of desktop mail and newsreading programs will handle this type of encoding on the fly.
Programmer's File Editor is a large-capacity multi-file programming oriented editor for Windows 3.1x, Windows NT on Intel and PowerPC platforms, and Windows 95.
Shrinkwrap is a free Mac utility that allows you to mount and use disk image files as if they were a mounted floppy disk.

 CH000428: Changing a file extension.
It may be necessary to change the file extension to open the file or files with a different application or in a different method.
Because a.EXE file needs to be compiled, you will now receive an error when attempting to open the file.
Before renaming a Windows file extension you must have set Windows to display file extensions.

 OFF: Default File Extension Added to Filename Using Save As
Because of this, if you save a file with a file extension that is not registered in Windows, such as.DAT, the file type is displayed as DAT File.
The extension that appears in the Save As Type list is appended to the filename when you save a file, even if you enter an extension for the file.
The file extension in Microsoft Windows 95 identifies the file type.

 File Extension Names
The extension identifies the file as either text or binary.
The receiving end uses the file name extension to determine what kind of file it is and what program is expected to open or use the data.
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) and File Extensions: When sending files over the Internet a file name extension must be be attached to a file.

 [Theora] Theora file extension
Let's see -.wav is a well-defined file format, having a riff header, with an id that says what type of data it is. If the type of data is mp3, then the id says so.
AFAIK Xiph has *always* declared that files with.ogg extensions are whatever type of media as long as it uses the ogg container.
Are you the guy that creates all those files that makes us shake our heads as developers wondering what the creator was thinking when he deliberately broke specs and formats ?

 Choosing a File Extension
When you reference your files, in links, you can add the.html extension to the name of the file or have no extension.
You could change the extension to.txt, so it's routed through the content management system before serving, or you could change it to.opml so you could use an outliner to edit it (and also route it through the CMS).
When I discuss integrating your FrontPage files with your Weblog theme you'll see how we need to change the file extension, as well as do other things that web designers would never consider.

 You Are Unable to Start a Program with an .exe File Extension
NOTE: The Files32.vxd file is not a Windows file and does not reside on the Windows media.
The Pretty Park virus creates the Files32.vxd file, and then copies the Files32.vxd file to the Windows\System folder of your computer.
Also, the Pretty Park virus modifies a registry key that causes the Files32.vxd file to run when you attempt to run any program that has an.exe file extension.

 OPX File Extension - OPX Format Information - OrgPlus Knowledge Base
OrgPlus 4.0 is able to open all OPX files created in versions 3.0, 3.01, and 3.5 or OrgPlus.
OrgPlus 4.0 does support new features, so if you save an OPX file in OrgPlus 4.0 and try to re-open it in version 3.0, 3.01, or 3.5, you will lose some design elements of your charts (for example, box gradients and backgrounds).
OrgPlus 4.0 cannot open any chart files that have not been saved in the.OPX file format.

 Samba File Extension Mapping VFS Module
In this example, the.flac files on the server are seen as.wav files by the AT.
I have included a README file to direct you on how to modify the smb.conf file and also on what to put in the smb.file_ext_map file.
If you use a TOC, remember that the server sees the original extenstion on the file (such as.ogg or.shn) and the AT needs to see the.wav extension in the TOC file in order for it to work.

 Windows 98: .WPS file extension
The.wps extension identifies a document created by MS Works generally, not merely Works 2000.
Microsoft has a plugin for word: download it and install it, then you can open with word the file, selecting filetype *.* and goto the folder with the file.
I said it was a Microsoft Works document which could be opened in Office--note I didn't specify which component of Office could be used to open it.

 [VBnet File API]  Minimal Code for a Single or Multiple File Extension Recursive Search for Files (single drive)
But an interesting (and as far as I can see undocumented) feature of PathMatchSpec is that it can test a file for multiple files extensions.
It must also be noted that, since this example uses the listbox to return the results, on systems containing many files you may, eventually, hit the listbox item limit of 32k items under an non-NT-based system.
While that dual-method technique remains a flexible way of performing a recursive search for a single file type, the code can be reduced into a single recursive procedure as this page shows.

If a user clicks on a link to download an affected file and then chooses to open the file from its current location, the file would be executed without displaying a warning.
Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0 could allow a malicious Web site operator to spoof file extensions in a download dialog box to cause an executable file to appear to be a file type that is safe for opening.
An attacker can use this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on a visiting user's computer.
