Here's a snippet:
set fileName to name of the item_info
set OldFile to (targetFolder & fileName) as text
if file OldFile exists then
display dialog OldFile & " already exists."
end if
targetFolder is the path to a folder, so oldFile is a full path to a
particular file (that may be) in the folder.
The error message I get is that [actual full path name] doesn't
understand 'exists'
I could get it to work only if it's inside a "tell application
'finder'" wrapper.
tell application "Finder"
if file OldFile exists then
display dialog OldFile & " already exists"
end if
end tell
