FileExists

Description

The fileExists function checks if a file at the given path exists and returns a boolean indicating the result.

Syntax

fileExists(string path)

• path is the path to a file or link/junction to a file.

Remarks

• The function only checks if the file exists, not if it can be read using fileRead (so it may exist but is currently not readable)
• The path can be relative and is interpreted relative to the current working directory
• Absolute paths may require a drive letter (system dependent)

Examples

/
	data/
		a.txt
		b.txt
	lib/
		main.step
		c.txt

lib/main.step run in /lib/:

if (fileExists("/data/a.txt")) {
	println("/data/a.txt found") // will get printed
}

if (fileExists("b.txt")) {
	println("b.txt in current dir found") // will NOT get printed
}

if (fileExists("c.txt")) {
	println("c.txt in current dir found") // will get printed
}
