How to differentiate a folder and a file?

[mik 0]

In windows explorer, many files and folders may be under the same folder, and with controllistview method, we can get many things of these files and folders. But How to differentiate a file and a folder? Does autoit provide some methods?

thank you!

Look at FileGetAttrib()

String returned could contain a combination of these letters "RASHNDOCT":

"R" = READONLY

"A" = ARCHIVE

"S" = SYSTEM

"H" = HIDDEN

"N" = NORMAL

"D" = DIRECTORY

"O" = OFFLINE

"C" = COMPRESSED (NTFS compression, not ZIP compression)

"T" = TEMPORARY

@all

Using this :

$objFSO = ObjCreate("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
$objFolder = $objFSO.GetFolder("C:\Windows\System32")

Consolewrite ( "Type " & $objFolder.Type & @CRLF )

If it returns a Type it is a Folder otherwise it is a File.

how about this trick:

you have a folder c:\temp

in it you have files. you can use fileexists() to determine if a file exists

you always have the NUL File in every folder,

meaning that if you would want to verify if a folder exists, you can check for this file:

if fileexists("c:\temp\NUL") then ..
