Animated Gif's

[pottster]

Is there a way to search for animated gif's (excluding non-animated gif's)?

Seemingly an animated GIF will have the string, "NETSCAPE2.0" in its header, so a search for that should turn up your wanted GIFs.

Code: Select all

grep -F "NETSCAPE2.0" *.gif

Or any other program that will search file contents.
Not something for Everything to do.

Thanks for the suggestion. Much appreciated.

Would I have to use a Grep search tool to use this search?

Doesn't have to be grep. There are a multitude of tools to search within files.

Or maybe even a picture viewer program, that can filter by .gif, & then further enumerate animated .gif?
