Determining If a File Exists


  • Subject: Determining If a File Exists
  • From: Marconi <email@hidden>

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'
