Arguments
object
Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.filespec
Required. The name of the file whose existence is to be determined. A complete path specification (either absolute or relative) must be provided if the file isn't expected to exist in the current folder. Wildcard characters (*, ?, and so on) are not supported.
The following example illustrates the use of the FileExists method.
function ReportFileStatus(filespec)
{
var fso, s = filespec;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
if (fso.FileExists(filespec))
s += " exists.";
else
s += " doesn't exist.";
return(s);
}
Function ReportFileStatus(filespec)
Dim fso, msg
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If (fso.FileExists(filespec)) Then
msg = filespec & " exists."
Else
msg = filespec & " doesn't exist."
End If
ReportFileStatus = msg
End Function
