file not exists

[myspacee]

Hello to all,

read help to use fileexist function, here example :

If FileExists("C:\autoexec.bat") Then
    MsgBox(4096, "C:\autoexec.bat File", "Exists")
Else
    MsgBox(4096,"C:\autoexec.bat File", "Does NOT exists")
EndIf

i'm trying to put in one line, to manage no existence case :

if filenotexist then
 do
endif

search in forum but can't find an easy example to learn this 'simple' condition.

anyone can help me?

m.

try

If No FileExists("C:\autoexec.bat") Then

If Not FileExists("C:\autoexec.bat") Then MsgBox(4096, "C:\autoexec.bat File", "Does NOT exists")

If FileExists("C:\autoexec.bat") = 0 Then MsgBox(4096, "C:\autoexec.bat File", "Does NOT exists")

Both should work.

if fileexists($file) then
msgbox(0, "File", "File Exists!")
else
msgbox(0, "File", "File Doesn't Exist!")
endif

just wondering why you don't just use this? its the easiest way and probably most efficient?

this is probably the best way to do it

Not for my task.

This is part of my production code:

if StringRight(StringReplace($file_no_ext, ".bmp", ""), 2) <> "01" and Not FileExists($sDir & "\" & StringReplace($file, StringRight($file, 6), "") & "01.bmp") then
do
elseif ....

simple way often isn't best way.

Bye and thank you all.
