fFileExist (Function)

In french: fFichierExiste

Checks the existence of an external file.

Remark: In 64-bit Windows, the access to a system directory from a 32-bit executable can be performed in a directory that differs from the expected one. For more details, see the Native 64-bit and native 32-bit help page.

Example

UnFichier is string
UnFichier = "C:\Temp\Exemple.txt"
IF fFileExist(UnFichier) = True THEN
Info("Le fichier " + UnFichier + " existe bien sur le disque")
END

Syntax

<Result> = fFileExist(<File name>)

<Result>: Boolean

True if the file exists,
False otherwise (the file name corresponds to a directory name for example).

<File name>: Character string (with quotes)

Name and full path of file. The wildcard characters (*,?) are not allowed. You can call fDir to use wildcard characters. If only the file name is specified (without the path), the file is sought in the current directory (for example: fFileExist("Test.jpg"))
