Hi,
	anyone point me to the best bash script option for checking the first 2
characters of all the files in a directory?

logic of the script is

for each file in directory
	test if the first 2 chars are "%!"
		print Filename	valid
	if not
		print Filename	not valid


Does magic do something like this ?


Thanks Justin
