Hi all who follow this thread,

This list is great since it forces us to try to reach excellence :-)
I thought I have posted the last one.
No ;-)
It does work but can be more elegant:

function CreatorAndType pFilePath
  local tDefaultFolder,tFile,tCreatorType
  -----
if the platform <> "MacOs" then return "Error: filetype not supported"
  put the defaultFolder into tDefaultFolder
  set the itemdel to slash
  set the defaultFolder to item 1 to -2 of pFilePath
  put the detailed files into tFile
  filter tFile with urlEncode(item -1 of pFilePath) & ",*"
  set the defaultFolder to tDefaultFolder
  set the itemDel to comma
  put item 11 of tFile into tCreatorType
if tCreatorType = empty then return "Error: could not determine the filetype"
  return char 1 to 4 of tCreatorType,char 5 to 8 of tCreatorType
end CreatorAndType

Have a nice week-end,

Best Regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.

I should not have thought that such a tiny problem could go so far :-)
Error management is the key of good software...
So, I propose another approach:
As usual, is this one the last one?
:-)

function CreatorAndType pFilePath
  local tDefaultFolder,tFile,tCreatorType
  -----
if the platform <> "MacOs" then return "Error: filetype not supported"
  put the defaultFolder into tDefaultFolder
  set the itemdel to slash
  set the defaultFolder to item 1 to -2 of pFilePath
  put the detailed files into tFile
  filter tFile with urlEncode(item -1 of pFilePath) & ",*"
  set the defaultFolder to tDefaultFolder
  set the itemDel to comma
if last char of tFile = comma then return "Error: could not determine the filetype" return char 1 to 4 of item -1 of tFile,char 5 to 8 of item -1 of tFile
end CreatorAndType
