[Bro] File Extraction: doc/xls=ok, docx/xlsx=ko

[Peter Österberg]

Just an idea 

What would the output be if you try to print the
contents to stdout? Nice way of learing what the variable actually
contains... 

Put this somewhere just before the call to write the file.
Then you know if you have a valid filename or not. Good practise is to
use print when unsure about the contents of a variable, it will quickly
reveal stuff instead of fumbling in total darkness. 

print
f$info$filename 

As said earlier, I've never tried using that variable
but it should be there and hold the right value at least according to
the documentation.
