Hi All,

    Any update as to when the function described in the below 
ticked would be action-ed, I am more interested in isBinary 
(check a file whether is is binary file or not)

Those are totally different ideas.

When writing a file, some operating systems support line ending 
conversion. To do that, you explicitly specify that you are 
writing to a text file. Then a "binary file" is just any file 
that is not a text file. However, this is merely a conversion 
process on writing. You cannot discover whether a file is a 
binary file in reverse. At most you can check whether *you 
yourself* opened the file as a binary file.

I tried to write the below code but it always return's as binary 
for any file type, please point me what is wrong in the below 
program

```
void main () {
import std.stdio: writeln, File;
string fn = "C:\\temp\\test.txt";
//string fn = "C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\whoami.exe";
File f;
f.open(fn, "rb");
if(f.isOpen) { writeln("BinaryFile"); } else { 
writeln("NotBinaryFile"); }
f.close();
}
```
