 When you use the file command to dectect what sort of file you are working
 with you need to use the -b option of file. If you don't then file will
 preface the result with the file name.

 So if the file is called: a.mpg, and it's a text file it will say:
 a.mpg: ASCII text

 Then when you do the regex to check if it has mpg in the result - it will
 always succeed! (Because the file name has the word .mpg in it.)

 Anyway use -b and file will not echo the filename.
