Types (bin/txt) for files without extension

[Oscar]

Hi,

How should I specify the type of a file without extension in filetypes.conf? I have a lot of Makefiles, which don't have extension at all. Plastic takes them as binary by default. How can I inform Plastic of its actual type?

Thanks,

-Oscar

Hi Oscar, in filetypes.conf try adding :txt to support filenames with no extensions.

There is also another way to achieve what you seek.

open a windows terminal cmd.exe, cd to your workspace directory and execute the following command:

First make sure that the output of the dir is giving you the results you want:

c:\>wks_path>dir /B /S Make

Then pipe that to plastic CLI command to change the type of the file to text.

c:\>wks_path>dir /B /S Make | cm crt - -type=txt

Thats all,

hope it helps,

Miller
