to find whether a file is present or not 2

[vsuresh]

hi all
i want to know, is there any function that will find whether a specified
file is present in given path or not.

Two possibilities I know of:
- API Function FindFirstFile with the following sintax(MSDN)
HANDLE FindFirstFile(
LPCTSTR lpFileName, // file name
LPWIN32_FIND_DATA lpFindFileData // data buffer
);
- in MFC Construct an object of type CFindFile then call its member function FindFile with the syntax more straight:
virtual BOOL FindFile( LPCTSTR pstrName = NULL, DWORD dwUnused = 0 );

Hope this helps, s-)

I use
[tt]
OFSTRUCT ofs;
if :OpenFile(fname,&ofs,OF_EXIST)!=HFILE_ERROR)
{
// it exists
}
else
{
// it doesn't exist
}
[/tt]
, but I guess I'm just that kind of guy.

GetFileAttributes("..path...."
returns an unsigned -1 if file or directory doesn't exist
