I've looked at the file's 'type identifier', but it's of no use at
all.
I took a second look and found that at least one of my test files
may have been invalid.
Here is what seems to be true:
return delimited files have type ident "com.apple.traditional-mac-
plain-text"
linefeed delimited files have type ident "public.plain-text"
That's an artifact of the applications you're using to generate the
files and the names you're giving them. I can make a return-
delimited file that has a UTI of public.plain-text, or a linefeed-
delimited one that's com.apple.traditional-mac-plain-text. There is
no way to know which line ending style a file is using without
reading its contents.
