 Is there a way in Appian to check the content type of a document? I can get the type of the document but the contents may not reflect type for the document e.g. changing extension to .txt for a .exe file. 
 Thanks in advance</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Content Type of a Document</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/61869?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Oct 2018 03:08:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:8a6662e0-c6fc-4417-ba84-3bbb95819695</guid><dc:creator>chandu</dc:creator><description>Right now I don&amp;#39;t see any plugin created in shared components, Though some extension we can change to compatible ones and this requires general user knowledge like what are the compatible extension e.g. docx to doc or etc. But there might be cases like changed extensions will not work. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to create a plugin then you may need to do research for compatible extensions so that after changing of file you will not end up with displaying all greek.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Content Type of a Document</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/61867?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Oct 2018 01:31:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:45624e49-081f-4540-afec-165e0e39bc9e</guid><dc:creator>Jerry Sylveus</dc:creator><description>As far as I know, I don&amp;#39;t believe that there is currently any way to do that either&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Content Type of a Document</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/61851?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 Oct 2018 16:27:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:692a58a7-df68-4a4d-a659-175ae31d0a81</guid><dc:creator>Mike Schmitt</dc:creator><description>There&amp;#39;s currently no way to do this as far as I know - it would require a relatively complex parser (especially considering that not even all document types have a consistent content type indicator).
