Checks if a file or directory exists.
FileExists ( "path" )
| Path | The directory or file to check. |
| Success: | 1. |
| Failure: | 0 if path/file does not exist. |
FileExists() returns 0 if you specify a floppy drive which does not contain a disk.
If you are running in X86 mode (@AutoItX64 = 0) under a Windows running in X64 mode (@OSArch = "X64") and you want to access @WindowsDir\System32, X64 files will not be found. So you can use @WindowsDir\Sysnative.
