[TxMt] Re: list of all file types for -t

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

Thanks,

the find command (for which one needs a concealed carry permit :-)-O)
works but it returns the extensions (or filenames) by which TextMate
recognizes the type.

Grepping around in plist files showed stuff like

	<string>source.r</string>
	<string>source.ruby</string>

so

	mate -t source.r -
	mate -t source.makefile -
	mate -t source.perl -

and after a little experimenting

	mate -t text.tabular.csv -


work (even if source.perl did not come up in the grep) if the
corresponding bundle is installed.

And TextMate evaluates the shebang which also works in a pipe.

So that solves my problem, but I am still wondering if a complete list,
or the logic used should not be published somewhere...
