File check

[Appie78]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to get the Msgbox to pop up! Somehow it doesn't.

When I change the -1 to 1 and the file is there it gives the msgbox.

Is this the correct way to do this?

CODE

$sString = FileRead("c:\program files\scan sample\Positions.log")

If $sString = -1 Then

MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open logfile.")

Exit

EndIf

Thanks,

Success: Returns the binary/string read.

Special: Sets @error to -1 if end-of-file is reached.

Failure: Sets @error to 1 if file not opened in read mode or other error.

Sets @error to 2 if count not defined for file open in raw read mode.

So:

$sString = FileRead("c:\program files\scan sample\Positions.log")
If $error = -1 Then
MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open logfile.")
Exit
EndIf

Thanks Foster74,

Didn't check the helpfile on the errors!!

Ps. $error = @error
