Folder exists

Topic should have been named Registry Exists. Sorry.

Hi, I've looked through the help file and couldn't find a function that would tell me if a registry entry exists. I thought I saw it in the forums but I don't remember where I found it. Could someone help?

RegRead()?

RegRead()?

So could I do something like this,

If RegRead=(specific registry key) Then...

and it will do one thing if it matches the registry key or do another if it doesn't? Will that work?

Thanks for the reply.

Good point Was just wondering if there was a better way of doing it.

What better way of doing it?

If RegRead("regkey") Then $exists = true

Reading it would return anything there, if it doesn't exist, then there is nothing to read =P

DirGetSize() returns 0 if it doesn't exist.

DirGetSize() returns 0 if it doesn't exist.

On a registry key?

Oops, I read the topic, it sounded like he needed to check if a FOLDER exists, his topic title is misleading...

DirGetSize() returns 0 if it doesn't exist.

FileExists() also works on folders
