FileExists Method

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change]

Returns True if a specified file exists; False if it does not.

object.FileExists(filespec)

Arguments

object

Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.

filespec

Required. The name of the file whose existence is to be determined. A complete path specification (either absolute or relative) must be provided if the file isn't expected to exist in the current folder.

The following example illustrates the use of the FileExists method.

function ReportFileStatus(filespec)
{
   var fso, s = filespec;
   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
   if (fso.FileExists(filespec))
      s += " exists.";
   else 
      s += " doesn't exist.";
   return(s);
}
