Is it a folder?

[erifash]

Here is a quick little function that checks to see if a path belongs to a folder or not:

; Return - Path is folder: True, Path is file: False

Func _IsFolder( $sPath )
    If not FileExists($sPath) Then SetError(1)
    Return not not StringInStr(FileGetAttrib($sPath), "D")
EndFunc

Enjoy!

Isn't this

Return not not StringInStr(FileGetAttrib($sPath), "D")

the same as

Return StringInStr(FileGetAttrib($sPath), "D")

I thought that 2 nots would cancel each other out?

I put that in there because I didn't want a number to be returned, but True or False (boolean). You can remove it if you don't like it.

That is kind of cool I was not aware that "noting" it made it a bool. That is good to know.

I made something a while ago, that is not reliable, but at the time I thought it was.

Func _FileOrFolder($path)
   Local $len = StringLen($path)
   If StringMid($path, $len) = "\" Then
      MsgBox(0, "Folder", $path & " is a folder.")
   Else
      MsgBox(0, "File", $path & " is a file.")
   EndIf
EndFunc  ;==>FileOrFolder

_FileOrFolder("C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.exe")
_FileOrFolder("C:\")

EDIT: The MsgBox's were just for debugging purposes.
