FileExist

State = FileExist(Filename$)

Parameters:     Filename$ = The name and path of the file you wish to check

Returns:     State = 1 = file exists, 0 = file does not exist

The FileExist function checks if a file exists. If the requested file exists FileExist returns a true (1) value, if not a false (zero) value is returned. FACTS: * You can check to see if a file exists upon any device on your computer. * The filename$ your supply FileExist can be either local or absolute. Local files are expected to be found in the current path and might look something like this ("MyFile.txt" ) Absolute file names include the filename and the whole path ie. ("C:\\Stuff\MyFile.txt") Mini Tutorial: This example, check if a file exists       ; Check if the file "TestFile.txt" exists   If FileExist("TextFile.txt")=true    ; if the file exists, the display this message    ; to the screen      Print "Yes, this file exists"   Else    ; If the file does NOT exist, then display    ; the failure message      Print "Nope, this does not exist"   EndIf    ; Display the screen and wait for a key press   Sync   WaitKey    Since it's highly unlikely theres a file called "TestFile.txt" on your computer, This example would output.      Nope, this does Not exist
