Map Filenames to MIME Types
Guesses the MIME type from a filename extension using the data derived from /etc/mime.types in UNIX-type systems.
This is an R package for mapping filename extensions to MIME
types, based on the data
derived from /etc/mime.types.
library(mime)guess_type(c('a/b/c.html', 'd.pdf', 'e.odt', 'foo.docx', 'tex'))# [1] "text/html" # [2] "application/pdf" # [3] "application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text" # [4] "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"# [5] "text/x-tex"
You can install the stable version from CRAN, or the development version from XRAN:
