If a file does not exist, send an e-mail

[BCDave 0]

Hi, can anyone help me create a script? I am new but would like a script to see if a file exists in a specific folder, if it doesn't, I would like it to send an e-mail to me. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

Which mail program do you use?

Sorry, I use Outlook.

Thanks for the quick reply!

#include <OutlookEX.au3>
If Not Fileexists("C:þtemp\test.txt") Then
    $oOL = _OL_Open()
    _OL_Wrapper_SendMail($oOl, ...)
    _OL_Close($oOL)
EndIf

Something like this if you use my OutlookEX UDF.

Where and how do I add your OutlookEX? I downloaded it but unsure how to add to this script. Sorry, I am really green.

For ease (as you're new to AutoIt) add it to the same location as where your script is.

Later (when you code more and more scripts and use more and more UDFs) I suggest to use a separate directory to store all UDFs.

You can add this directory to SciTe and the AutoIt wrapper so no changes are needed fo the existing scripts.

BCDave,
 
And the Adding UDFs to AutoIt and SciTE tutorial in the Wiki shows you how to add that folder to you AutoIt setup.
