Search for directory only

[John-Paul]

How does one search for a directory only.

ie: if dir exists DIR then ......

I have found the FileExists function and there does not seem to be a Directory Exists and not being too code fantasic I have not found a simply way to do it.

I only want to check if a directoory exists and if so the script will run, if not then the script will exit.

Basically I want to back up my files after a certain event (system shutdown) and so I want to see if a previous backed up directory exists then I will rename it by using the Move Dir function as there's no rename function and once moved then continue with backing up the files, plus relabel directory 3 times so that i have 4 backed up versions.

ie:

Backup

Backup_1

Backup_2

Backup_3

Thanks,

Jp

Try to use the search functions combined with FileGetAttrib()..

Edit : oops...maybe not exactly what you wanted..

Try something like this :

If FileExists("c:\windows\") Then
MsgBox(64,"","wow!")
Else
MsgBox(64,"","what the..")
Endif

Good luck !

Thanks, and I recognise that I posted it here in the Scripts section and may have placed it in the general section, so hope no one is too upset.
