Check if File exists in SKILL

Hi,

I am trying to check if a given file exists in one of the directories listed in the parent of parent of current directory (2 levels up)

Code:

isFileName(ruleFile list("..." ) )

This doesnt seem to be correct.

Could you please suggest a solution for the same. Is there an alternate to varying the SKILL Path?

Thanks,

Bindu

See if this works for you. Just replace filename.txt with your filename.
isFileName("filename.txt" "..\\..\\")

Hi Randy,

Thanks for the suggestion!
But it is not working as expected.
In general, how is a file searched in multiple/hierarchy of directories in SKILL?

Thanks,
Bindu

The suggestion by Randy R actually works. Alternatively,if you have defined path to search.. you can use the isFile(filepath) command.

For file multiple file searching, you may use getDirFiles then loop.

*For multiple directory/hierarchy searching, you may use getDirFIles then loop on the result.

Hi All,

This works :
;; you can change the directory depth based on requirement
_fileList = getDirFiles("../../../")
if( exists(_file _fileList (stringp _file))
then
_checkFile = "True"
else
printf("\nFile %s not found!" _file)
);if

Thanks for the helpful pointers!!
