Exit function [Solved]

[muncherw]

If my file doesn't exist I want my script to quit running. I *thought* that was what I coded, however when 'E:\results-1.htm' is missing I get the correct message but then it goes to the next part of the code. What am I doing wrong?

;check for jump drive
if NOT FileExists("E:\results-1.htm") then
    MsgBox(0, "ERROR!", "E:\results-1.htm dos not exist!")
    Exit
EndIf

;upload the file to the website, replacing the current file
$foo = FileCopy("E:\results-1.htm", $webPath & $file, 1)
if $foo = 0 then
    MsgBox(0, "ERROR!", "Backup not created")
    Exit
EndIf

MsgBox(0, $file, "upload complete")

There is no way for that code to show the "does not exist" message and then NOT exit. So either you are misinterpreting what is happening or this is not the code you are running.

;check for jump drive
if FileExists("C:\test.txt") = 0 then
    MsgBox(0, "ERROR!", "C:\test.txt does not exist!")
    Exit
EndIf

;upload the file to the website, replacing the current file
$foo = FileCopy("C:\test.txt", "C:\text backup.txt", 1)
if $foo = 0 then
    MsgBox(0, "ERROR!", "Backup not created")
    Exit
EndIf

MsgBox(0, "C:\test.txt", "upload complete")

i have just tested that and it works perfectly, maybe your computer is injecting itself while your not looking, it can happen

...maybe your computer is injecting itself while your not looking, it can happen

Code injection... with dirty needles... that's how computers get viruses.

I would write it more like this...

*** NOT TESTED

;check for file
If Not FileExists("C:\test.txt") Then
 MsgBox(0, "ERROR!", "C:\test.txt does not exist!")
Else; copy file
 If FileCopy("C:\test.txt", "C:\text backup.txt", 1) Then
  MsgBox(0, "C:\test.txt", "upload complete")
 Else; If copy fails
  MsgBox(0, "ERROR!", "Backup not created")
 EndIf
EndIf
Exit

However, as noted by Salty, this is not related to a website upload

Coming at it today with a freshly rested brain I find that I was looking at the wrong lines of code. Before what I showed you was where I did the backup which obviously comes before the Exit function. I showed the code after it thinking it (which is quite similar but not the same) thinking it was the other section. Silly mistake...maybe when I'm not looking the computer was injecting *me* with dirty code! Thanks everybody.
