Using filetype command for IE

[Sarah]

Here is an AppleScript that allows you to select a file of the type you 
want i.e. select an exiting IE document file, and will return the file 
type & creator code. You could run this from inside Rev if you wanted.

tell application "Finder"
	choose file with prompt "Select a file of the correct type:"
	set tFile to the result
	set tType to the file type of tFile
	set tCreator to the creator type of tFile
	return tType & tCreator
end tell

You should also be able to use the detailed file names to extract these 
codes, but I have found that they sometimes will only give "????????" 
where the AppleScript will give the real data.
