Two ways for determining whether a folder exists

Expand | Embed | Plain Text 
  1. fn doesFolderExist f create:false =
  2. -- test whether f exists and is a folder; create it if it doesn't and create==true
  3. (
  4.  	local val
  5.  	val = if (doesFileExist f) and (getfileattribute f #directory) then true else false
  6.  	if not val and create then
  7.  	(
  8.  		val = makeDir f
  9.  	)
  10.  	val
  11.  )
  12.  
  13. -- alternative using dotNet:
  14. ((dotnetclass "System.IO.Directory").exists "D:\\DIRECTORYNAME")
  15. ((dotnetclass "System.IO.File").exists "D:\\SOMEDIR\\SOMEFILE.EXT")
