Tiemo,

For this task I would always use binfile. No matter what the contents, binfile will leave the file unchanged. There is no harm in using binfile on a text file.

Uups, good point! :)
If I want to build a generic compress and decompress handler, what is the
best way to check, if I get a file or binfile as the input? Would be
checking the file extension a good idea? Txt, xml, html: file and Rev, exe:
binfile?
But where to start this list and where to end?
Thank you
Tiemo


Bonjour Tiemo,

A file stack is a binary file:
put compress(url ("binfile:" & it)) into url ("binfile:" & it & ".gz")

Best regards from Paris,
