Looking for a file

[Halawlaws]

Hi how can i look for a file if it exists without using fopen /\|-||\/|/\|)

[BlackDice]

here's a function that I put in one of my programs to make sure a folder existed, but you could also use it for a file.

BOOL FolderExists(CString strFolderName)
{   
	return GetFileAttributes(strFolderName) != INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES;   
}

Try this:

bool fileExists(LPCTSTR filepath)
{
  return (_taccess(filepath, 00) == 0);
}

Hope that helps, -- jlr http://jlamas.blogspot.com/[^]

Another way: WIN32_FIND_DATA wfd; HANDLE hFind = FindFirstFile(csFilePath, &wfd); if (hFind != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) // File exists ... Marc Soleda. ... she said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this... Tunnel of Love, Dire Straits.

Try one of the stat functions, e.g.

int stat (const char *path, struct _stat *buffer);
