FileExist in Subdirectoy

[alexps2]

Just want to know in how to use FileExist and wildcards to check if a file exist in a subdirectoy. The files that I have to check is in a folder created for each date with the format YYYYMMDD. An example for yesterday directoy would be "C:\USERDB\20101216\cng.cfg". What command would allow wildcards in AutoIt as fileexist doesnt supported.

Hello alexps2,

First, Welcome to the AutoIt Forums

I an not sure what it is that your attempting to do with a limited description. Why do you want to check if a Wildcard exists?

However _FileListToArray() supports WildCards. You could load an entire directory into an array, and check for file *.cfg in a loop with a StringInStr($file,'.cfg'). Or if its the date you are wanting to WildCard you could create array of the dates you wish to choose, and build a loop using FileExist('C:\USERDB\' & $date[$i] & '\cng.cfg').

If neither of my descriptions are what you looking for, then please describe more in full:

1. What results you expect from your script/function

2. Show what code you have so far, or at least an example of it.

3. What problems your facing with your code.

Thanks!

I have for example this directories

C:\USERDB\20101216\cng.cfg

C:\USERDB\20101215\cng.cfg

C:\USERDB\20101214\cng.cfg

I want to check if cng.cfg File Exists in ("C:\USERDB")

Then RunWait()

Else

MsgBox()

So My second description should help you. What code do you have so far? What problems are you having with it?

I suggest using _FileListToArray('C:\USERDB') to enumerate the date directories into an array.

Then Create a Loop to go through all the Date Directories.

Inside your loop create a conditional check with FileExist() for 'cng.cfg'

If this condition exists than you can call RunWait() to run application.
