File.exists

In Mini Micro and command-line MiniScript, the file.exists function checks if a file or directory exists at the specified path.

Arguments

Parameter Name	Meaning
filePath	an absolute or relative path of the file or directory to be tested.

Return	Meaning
1 (true)	The file or directory exists.
0 (false)	The file or directory does not exist.

Example

Test the existence of various files and directories:

if file.exists("/usr2") then print "/usr2 appears to be mounted!"
if file.exists("/usr2/myapp.ms") then print "myapp.ms is there!"

// Look for a file in the parent directory of the current working directory. 
if not file.exists("../output.txt") then
  file.writeLines "../output.txt", "This file will be created with this string at the top. Woot!"
else
  file.writeLines "../output.txt", "This file will be overwritten with a BETTER string at the top."
end if
