fDirExist (Function)

In french: fRepExiste

Checks the existence of a directory.

Remark: This function is equivalent to fDirectoryExist.

Example

MyDirectory is string = "C:\DataDirectory"
IF fDirExist(MyDirectory) = True THEN
Info("The directory " + MyDirectory + " exists on disk")
END

Syntax

<Result> = fDirExist(<Directory name>)

<Result>: Boolean

True if the directory exists,
False otherwise (the directory name corresponds to a file name for example).

<Directory name>: Character string

Name and full (or relative) path of the directory. Wildcard characters (*,?) are not allowed.
This parameter can be in Ansi or Unicode format.
This parameter can correspond to a full path or a path relative to the current directory (returned by fCurrentDir). This parameter is case-sensitive.
Reminder: In Android, the file system is read-only on the device and on the emulator. An application can only write to its setup directory or one of its subdirectories, as well as to the external memory (SDCard).
The directory path corresponds to a relative path in relation to the current directory. The current directory corresponds to the data directory of application.
Reminder: Only the directories found in the data directory associated with the application can be used.
This parameter can correspond to a full path or a path relative to the current directory (returned by fCurrentDir). This parameter is case-sensitive.
Reminder: On iPhone/iPad, the file system is read-only on the device and on the emulator. An application can only write to its setup directory or one of its subdirectories.

Remarks

To check if a file exists, use fFileExist.
