Re: Checking existing files

[Peter Anthoni <panthoni@bgc-jena.mpg.de>]

Hi Takashi Ohtani,

In Splus 3.3 for windows running on Windows NT 
the following worked

    sfile <- dos(paste("cmd /C dir /b ",path,name,sep=""))
    fexists <- l(sfile) == 1

where path is the path to the file eg. c:\\directory\\ and name is the
name of the file.

Hope it might work for Splus2000 or it might be easy to convert it.

cheers
Peter
