Sort working .doc files from not working .doc files

[ivananonymous]

Hi,

I just want to ask for some advise on how to sort .doc files. I have tons of word files from .eml files which I extracted a while back. Now, I am facing the problem of sorting corrupt files from the working files. Please advise.

*I just tested the files that fail to open were .xls files and were mistakenly named .doc files

How do you distinguish corrupted from working docs?

when i try to open a corrupted document it fails or should i say a mislabeled .doc  that is supposedly in .xls format.. 

I'll start working on it now. I'm thinking opening all .doc files in autoit and if it fails then rename the extension. 

*I just tried opening it with _Word_DocOpen() and it opens successfully (showing senseless characters) but this is not the case when i try to open the file manually.
