  1. bool FileExists(string filename) {
  2.  
  3.   ifstream file;
  4.   file.open(filename.c_str()); //note that the filename must be a c-string. A string gives an error
  5.  
  6.   // Check if the file exists
  7.   if (file.is_open() == true) { //the 'is_open()' does all the work
  8.     file.close();
