Title: File & Directory functions?
Post by: zeroid on June 06, 2015, 12:55:53 AM

1. How do i check if the file exist? (in c# File.exist("image.jpg"))

2. How do i get a list of files in that particular folder (directory.getFiles(), returns an array of full filepath)

Not sure if there is another way to check if a file exists but you can do:

Code: [Select]

if ( exists( "myfile") )
{
   //file exists
}

function exists( filename )
{
   try
   {
      f = file( "myfile", "r" )
      return true;
   }
   catch ( e )
   {
      print( "couldn't open file: " + filename + "\n" );
   }
   return false;
}

For a directory listing, include the file module and use DirectoryListing:

Code: [Select]

fe.load_module("file");

local dir = DirectoryListing( path );
foreach ( f in dir.results )
{
   print( "file: " + f + "\n" );
}
