 Posted: Sun May 25, 2008 3:48 am Post subject: Check Directory existence. |
 |
|
I'm searching how to test if directory exists or not. In the documentation of existFile it says that :
| Quote: | | This function doesn't work to check the existence of a directory; use exploreDirectory() instead. |
so under a Linux based operating system i try the following code :
| Code: | local directory;
if !exploreDirectory(directory, "./foobar", false)
error("unable to find the directory.");
traceLine("if found the directory."); |
But it doesn't seems to work :/, can someone help me? |

did you try to use a non-relative path, a real one instead ? Did you try with a '/' at the end of the path ? 
Try this :
| Code: |
local directory;
if !exploreDirectory(directory, "/home/papy/foobar/", false)
error("unable to find the directory.");
traceLine("if found the directory."); |
If it doesn't work, try the fileMode() function ( [url]http://codeworker.free.fr/manual_.html#fileMode()[/url] ), Perhaps this one works for directory :
| Code: |
local sPermission = fileMode("/usr/home/papy/foobar/");
if startString(sPermission, "-") error("error code = " + sPermission);
traceLine("Directory permission (so it exists) : " + sPermission); |
