Easy Question. Does the file exist?

[Melvana]

I think my qusetion is very easy but I don't know how
to do it...

How can I know if a file exist?

[oetje]

Use the Dir function. You can get info on using it at msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp Look at the toc and goto Microsoft Visual Studio-->Visual Basic-->Reference-->Language Reference-->Functions-->D-->Dir

If Dir$("MyFile") Then
    'File exist
Else
    'File does not exist
End If

I always use the Filelen(pathname) function. This determines the size of the file in bytes. For example:


If Filelen("C:\Windows\Win.exe) > 0 then
'file exists
Else
'file doesn't exist (figures)
End if


Hope this helps!

Thanks to all of you

you're quick.

It almost faster than the MSDN. And I didn't want to search
into that.
