File command return wrong filetype while file holds group separator char.
hi,
I am trying to get the FileType using the File command. I have one file, which holds Group separator along with ASCII character.
It's a Text file.
But when I ran the File command the FileType is coming as "data".
It should be "ASCII, Text file".
Is the latest version of File command support Group separator as ASCII char?
How to get the correct file type of this file using the File or any other command ?
