Check if File exists in SKILL

BinduSripad

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

    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!!
