check if more than one file exists

[legend]

is it possible to check if 2 files exists, and if 1 of them exists then do something, and if they both or just 1 of them exists, then do something?

[jdelaney]

something like

$bFileOne = FileExists ("file")
$bFileTwo = FileExists ("file")
If $bFileOne And $bFileTwo Then
 ; some action
ElseIf $bFileOne And ( Not $bFileTwo ) Then
 ; some action
ElseIf ( Not $bFileOne ) And $bFileTwo Then 
 ; some action
Else
 ; None of the files exist
EndIf

$bFileOne = FileExists ("file")
$bFileTwo = FileExists ("file")
If $bFileOne And $bFileTwo Then
; Both Files Exist
;Now Do Something
ElseIf $bFileOne And ( Not $bFileTwo ) Then
; File Two Doesnt Exist
; DO whatever you want
ElseIf ( Not $bFileOne ) And $bFileTwo Then
; File One Doesnt Exist
Else
; None of the files exist
EndIf

Doing between 2 and 6 compares (3 compound If/Then statements) is not very efficient when only 2 compares are needed:

$sResult1 = FileExists("C:test1.txt")
$sResult2 = FileExists("C:test2.txt")

If $sResult1 Then
    If $sResult2 Then
     ; do what I do when both 1 and 2 exist
    Else
        ; do what I do when only 1 exists
    EndIf
Else
    If $sResult2 Then
     ; do what I do when only 2 exists
    Else
     ; do what i do when neither 1 or 2 exist
    EndIf
EndIf

; a sneakier option
$sResult = FileExists("C:test1.txt")
$sResult += FileExists("C:test2.txt") * 2

Switch $sResult
   Case 0
        ; do what i do when neither 1 or 2 exist
    Case 1
     ; do what I do when only 1 exists
    Case 2
     ; do what I do when only 2 exists
    Case 3
     ; do what I do when both 1 and 2 exist
EndSwitch

@Spiff59,

Nothing sneaky about making the tool work for you, good job!
