TRUE if Exist Directory

[Option_Explicit]

How would you go about setting a variable to check if a FOLDER exists,(not file)

Return TRUE if exists??

[Corey]

Although there is no main way it's super easy to just check for a file in that folder. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif So for example check for c:\windows\desktop\myfolder\myfolder.txt or whatever, if it doesn't exist then neither does the folder... Just one workaround...

thats what I'm using now as a workaround, I figured there would have been a better way, What would the code to "GetInformation.File = TRUE if Exists" look like? could I expand off that somehow? or like always....wait for Worm to do it?

[Corey]

Not sure what you're talking about...

.File\GetInformation\Action Properties\Existence("TRUE" if file exists)
If I used this action to check for a file, could this action not be modified for Folder instead?

[Corey]

No idea...

I've come across this myself. I ended up writing a DLL to take care of it.

Pick it up here (http://www.warmuskerken.com/ams/folderexist.zip)

Cool .dll Worm. It would be nice to have a bunch more folder functions no doubt, i.e. find, rename, move, copy, etc...

Worm does it again!!! , I'll incorporate this dll into some test projects...get the feel for it, but it looks good so far.
Where would I also find the functions for the "GetFolders.dll"

[Worm]

All I needed was to know if a folder existed, so thats all I wrote. If you have some ideas, pass them on and I'll see what I can come up with. No promises though, I'm still fairly new to C++ and its a complex language/ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif

[Corey]

No I didn't mean from you, I meant in AMS 5. Although... /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

C++ is awesome, way too boring for someone like me but awesome for sure. I'm sure your brain gets used to it after a while. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif
