Folder.DoesExist Examples

boolean Folder.DoesExist (

Example 1

does_exist = Folder.DoesExist("C:\\Magic");

Stores true in a variable named "does_exist" if the "Magic" folder exists at "C:\Magic", and false if it doesn't.

Example 2

bIs_There = Folder.DoesExist(_SystemFolder..\\TempComponents");

Checks to see if the folder "TempComponents" exists in the user's System folder and stores either true or false accordingly in the variable "bIs_There." The concatenation operator (..) is used here to concatenate the System folder path with "\TempComponents."

Tip: Starting a variable name with "b" is a technique that programmers use to help themselves remember that a variable contains a boolean value.

Example 3

-- Check to see if a specific folder exists.

does_exist = Folder.DoesExist(_TempFolder);

-- Display a dialog telling the user whether or not the folder exists.

if does_exist then

Dialog.Message("Notice", "Yes, the folder does exist on your system.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION);

else

Dialog.Message("Notice", "No, the folder does not exist on your system.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION);

end

Checks to see if the temp folder exists on the user's machine and notifies the user using a dialog message.
