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

  • You may want to try axlDMFindFile which ignores the skillPath variable. For examle to find a file up 2 levels do

    sprintf(buf "../../%s"   ruleFile)

    result = axlDMFindFile("MISC" buf "r")

    if result is nil then file does not exist.

    It is also best to use UNIX style directory delimiters  ( "/") instead of Windows style ("\") since you don't need escape the UNIX version.

    In general, getDirFiles should be avoided if performance will be an issue.
