Method

PathExists

ModuleFileSystem
LibraryCore
Action


Checks whether a path exists.


Parameters

Path (string): The path of the file system object. The path can include environment variables represented by the local shell format (e.g. %env% on Windows), and wildcards such as '*' for multiple characters and '?' for a single character.

Return values

If nothing is found then the method returns success but no rows; this is because a complex instruction script may want to continue to execute rather than fail abruptly.

For each file or directory found:

  • FullPath (string): The full path, with any wildcards and environment variables expanded.
  • IsDirectory (bool): Represents if the path points to a file or directory.
Example


FileSystem.PathExists(Path:"c:\\tmp\\i*.txt");


FileSystem.PathExists(Path:"c:\\tmp");


FileSystem.PathExists(Path:"%programfiles%\\1E\Tachyon\\TIMS\\Tachyon.InstructionManagementStudio.exe");
