In VBScript is it possible to check for the presence of a particular file? I would like to do this and if it is not present, create it within my code. None of the documentation I have indicate how to do this.

Thanks

There is a method called FileExists (there's also DriveExists, etc...) that you can use for just that purpose.

Here is a code example I copied off of www.devguru.com:

<%
dim filesys
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
filesys.CreateTextFile "c:\somefile.txt", True
If filesys.FileExists("c:\somefile.txt") Then
filesys.DeleteFile "c:\somefile.txt"
Response.Write("File deleted")
End If
%>

Good Luck!

Failure is not an option.....it comes bundled with the software.
