FileExists works for directories as well.

If FileExists("c:\arquivos\Dez\migs") Then
     ShellExecute("c:\arquivos\Dez\migs")
Else
     msgbox(1,"","Directory does not exist!")
EndIf

uau..great

You are The Best.

Happy New year 2008.

How was the year's passing in your city?

FileExists works for directories as well.

If FileExists("c:\arquivos\Dez\migs") Then
     ShellExecute("c:\arquivos\Dez\migs")
Else
     msgbox(1,"","Directory does not exist!")
EndIf

Yes, but if there exist a file with the same name (but the dir not exists), this will return true, so if you need to check existing of a directory, you do this:

If _PathDirExists("c:\arquivos\Dez\migs") Then
     ShellExecute("c:\arquivos\Dez\migs")
Else
     msgbox(1,"","Directory does not exist!")
EndIf

Func _PathDirExists($sPath)
    Return StringInStr(FileGetAttrib($sPath), "D") > 0
EndFunc

    Return StringInStr(FileGetAttrib($sPath), "D") > 0
EndFunc

Or FileExists("C:\MyDir\") The trailing backslash will make it directory specific.

I think DirGetSize does the trick too!

DirGetSize does the trick too!

What if the dir is empty? and this func can take time if the dir is large (full with large size files).

That was my method I used once in one of my scripts...

Just a thought but true it could be inefficent
