EXIST @ERROR is always = 0
|
EXIST ("C:\folder\file.ini")
IF @ERROR = 1
MESSAGEBOX ("FILE FOUND", @ERROR, 0)
ELSE
MESSAGEBOX ("FILE NOT FOUND", @ERROR, 0)
ENDIF
Regardless of the file is there or not, @ERROR is always 0. I cut it down to the simplest setup, but I still cannot figure it out.
@ERROR should be 1 at least with EXIST ("C:\*") but it is not.
Whats wrong?
Best regards,
Henne

It's the return code you are interested in, not the error, below is how you should do handle this
Code:
If EXIST ("C:\folder\file.ini")
;IF @ERROR = 1
MESSAGEBOX ("FILE FOUND", @ERROR, 0)
ELSE
MESSAGEBOX ("FILE NOT FOUND", @ERROR, 0)
ENDIF

Thats sounds easy :-) Thanks, Allen!
I still do not understand the @ERROR function. Couldn't find anything useful in the manual either.

Probably because you were looking in the wrong place. @Error is a macro, not a function. The "functions" section however describe what @Error returns under what circumstance. You also need to realize that MessageBox() will affect the @Error in unusual ways. I think there is a FAQ on that.
