Check for presence of a file .... 1

[RVSachin]

Hi,

Someone please help me to find out the command/code which can check if a particular file has been created.

I run a TCL script which will create a file fil.txt during the execution. In the same script I need to check for the presence of fil.txt and if it does exist, then exit the script or keep checking for the file until it is found.

Thanks,

RV

easy:

file exists fil.txt
# you might want to use file join as well to
# get the proper path
file exists [file join [pwd] "fil.txt]

From the manual:

file exists name
Returns 1 if file name exists and the current user has search privileges for the directories leading to it, 0 otherwise.
