Using wildcards in IfFileExists

Hi,

Does any know if it is posible to use wildcards with the IfFileExists command. Such the I would have:

IfFileExists>C:\temp\*.*, FilesInDir, NoFileInDir

Thanks
Glen

Nope.

the getfilelist command looks like it could be used for what you are trying to do

//list all files separated by ;'s
GetFileList>c:\temp\*.*,files
//create an array of the file names
Separate>files,;,file_names
//print count of files
MessageModal>Num Files: %file_names_count%

you could then use your conditional around the file_names_count variable

Scott,

Thanks for sharing your ingenious programming tricks with us. Previously I thought it could only be done in VBscript.
