How can I check if a file exist?

Hi!

A textfile is created with a batchfile.
I have to analyze this textfile, when it's there.

Now how can I check if the textfile is already there?
How can i delete it fast after checking?
And biggest question: How can I tell the programm to WAIT until there is a file to check?

I thank you very much for your time and help

PS: Is there any module out there, which can do all important file operations like deleting, moving, renaming, lookin if exist...?

I use a function like this:

Code:

---


Public Function Exists(ByVal fn As String) As Boolean
    On Error GoTo NO_FILE
       
    Exists = (FileLen(fn) > 0)
   
    Exit Function
   
NO_FILE:
    Exists = False
End Function

---

Code:

---

if Dir(path) <> "" then msgbox "File does exist"

---

'does file exist using fso

Dim sFile$

sFile = "Name And Path Of Your File"

Dim fs As Object
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

StartOver:

If fs.fileexists(sFile$) = True Then
MsgBox "File Exists...Your code here!"
Else
MsgBox "Does Not Exist...Your code here!"
'perhaps you could loop it here till the file
does exist ie..goto StartOver:
End If
Set fs = Nothing
