Hi!

I've got a litte problem that i hope somone can hel me with.

I've got a file (c:\myfile.ini)
The file looks like this:

[WHATEVER]
exec=d:\somedir\somexec.exe

File END
--------------------
Okie, so i want to find out if the file d:\domedir\somexec.exe still is in that dir...

HOW?

Do you need to know how to do the whole thing. or just part of it. Sorta two seperate tasks. 1) Read the line from the INI 2) Check for the files existance. So do you need to know how to do both or just one or the other?

Excuse me if i seemed unclear with my ques.

Yes i need both.

Try this for a demo of reading an ini file.

and this one is a demo on how do veriry a files existance. Actually it is for getting the files information but it should have some error handling for if the file does not exist. That should give you what you need to test for its existance.

Hope that helps,
