[Cialug] List file types in a directory

[Kendall Bailey]

Not simple enough for a single command line, but here's a python
script which will play the role of awk in the pipeline shown

import sys,re
for i in sys.stdin :
   if re.match(".*\.([^.])+",i.strip()) : print i.strip().split(".")[-1]

I'm sure it would be a one liner in perl...
