File Exist issue

Recommended Posts

So I wanted to pass my path to file exist and magically says its not found even though its there o.O unless I am doing it wrong or if there is an easier way to find if a folder/file is there better by using a variable. Any help would be welcome.

$Name = "Name"
$Year = @YEAR
$Month = @MON
$Day = @MDAY
$Drive = "C:\"

$Path = $Drive & "Some\Folder\" & $Name & "\" & $Month & "-" & $Day & "-" & $Year

If FileExists($Path) Then
    MsgBox(4096, "C:\ Dir ", "Exists")
Else
    MsgBox(4096,"C:\ Dir" , "Does NOT exists")
EndIf

It is the right path used msgbox to make sure it was showing the right path. I thought fileExist also checks for folder existence as well? Is there a function or UDF I could use that would find a folder name instead of a file, its what I am looking for I would put it. If you try the example I put up it will show even though you set up the folders to be true it says its false o.O

fileexists will either return a 1 or 0, so you need to

$Name = "Name"

$Year = @YEAR

$Month = @MON

$Day = @MDAY

$Drive = "C:\"

$Path = $Drive & "Some\Folder\" & $Name & "\" & $Month & "-" & $Day & "-" & $Year

$check = FileExists($Path)

If $check = 1 Then

MsgBox(4096, "C:\ Dir ", "Exists")

Else

MsgBox(4096,"C:\ Dir" , "Does NOT exists")

EndIf

Yeah figured that much when I read how to use the function. Thanks for the help though. Basically checking to see if the folder 8-26-2010 is there thats all its checking. Doesn't seem like the variable is formating it correctly and the function is getting confused. Your example does the exact same thing as what I posted as the function gets confused how to process the multi variable string it just passes a 0.

oooh, I think MDAY might be returning 08 and if your folder is name 8 then it might not accept the match.

That was it thanks ;) my testing folders I made by hand and didn't put the 0. Good thing the script that makes the folders puts the 0 in ><
