FileType() - checking a file/resource exists

Monkey Forums/Monkey Programming/FileType() - checking a file/resource exists

Hi,

Is there any way to check if a file/resource/whatever exists before trying to load it? (at this point assuming the file type is unknown)

Basically the equivalent of the old FileType() function.

Feel I must be missing something obvious...

Thanks!

Well, Monkey - at the moment - has NO FileSystem support like in BlitzBasic/Bmax & co.
You can add new commands to the language as I made for CurrentDate/CurrentTime or for HidePointer.
Of course you need to know the target platform specific code, but nothing is impossible!

Cheers
