Checking to see if files/directories exist 1

[SmileeTiger]

I want to check to see if a file and a directory (which may be empty) exist. how would I do this?

These are brute force ideas, there's probably tidier ones...

The file is easy... try to open it readonly.

The directory is a little harder, but you could call one of the directory parsing routines such as findfirst with the same effect.

Remember to close the find and end your find correctly.

use GetFileAttributes and include windows.h. If file or directory doesn't exist function returns an unsigned -1 (is FFFFFFFF) John Fill

Hi,
You can use of CFile for opening your path, then check the return value of CFile object ...

The CheckFileAttributes worked out great!
