If file exists on cd then....

[CelticDragon]

Hi, I posted this on the general discussion board a while ago and didn't get any responses. Not trying to annoy people, just think that this could be a useful piece of code for people designing personalised cd roms, only i can't figure out the code!

What I want to be able to do is create a cd (simple enough with AMS!) but not to finish it (burn it) so I can add one or more text and image files to personalise the cd. Ideally what I would like is that on the initialise of the parent page the program would search the cd to see if these files are on it, if not then it displays the standard text, if those files are there though it would display lines from the text file and change the image to the photo of the person you are sending the cd to (presuming of course that you have already placed both of these files on the cd and burnt it before sending to them.

have tried to use
%info% = File.Search("TestText.txt",Custom Paths) - With the custom path being %SrcDir% -
IF (%info%=True)
TextObject(Text1).SetText("File is here!")
If (%info%=False)
TextObject(Text1).SetText("File ain't here!")
end if
end if

Anyone give me any pointers?

What are people's views on this?

Cheers
Stephen

S'okay!

Was messing about and managed to find the File existence command, apologies for the idiocy!

Thank you

%info% would not return a True/False. If the file was found, it would return the name of the file. If several were found, ( if you were searching sub folders too), then %info% would be a delimited list of the files.

Try using a message box to show the value of %info% before your IF statements. I've found that using a message box to do a little debuggin will most of the time answer why my IF statements aren't working as I'd expect.
