I followed this thread for a while, but now I think I should contribute a l=

If the content of a file is binary or text has nothing to do with the file =
structure. As an example a executable is a file as well.
So what you expect does not matter! The inner structure of a file depends o=
n the creator of the file.

If you think that such a tool is a good idea, just contribute it.

By the way I really don't know why you wasting time  on writing mails inste=
ad of writing a short piece of code to handle such a string.

Eg. in perl it is just one command called chomp.
