 |
|
I am trying to set the variable sfilename to blank if sfullpath is a folder. It's really simple, but for some reason I haven't been able to get it to work at all.
This is my code:
| Code: | if InStr(FileExist(sfullpath), "D")
{
msgbox, "%sfullpath%" is a folder!`nSet "%sfilename%" to blank!
sfilename =
} |
While debugging I tried this code:
| Code: | AttributeString := FileExist(sfullpath)
msgbox, File or folder: "%sfullpath%"`nAttributes: "%AttributeString%" |
AttributeString is almost always blank, it returned "A" a couple of times, but it never returned a string containing "D" even though I hard coded the variable sfullpath to be the path of a folder. I've sucessfully used the FileExist function to test for folders before, any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong? |

Check the variable sfullpath before calling InStr()
The following works for me:
| Code: | sfullpath := A_WinDir
if InStr(FileExist(sfullpath), "D")
{
msgbox, "%sfullpath%" is a folder!`nSet "%sfilename%" to blank!
sfilename =
} |

SKAN,
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately it works for me too(!). I've been checking sfullpath over and over again and checking that the paths actually exist by copying them, pasting them into the run box and seeing that the folders open.
Stupid bugz.... |

er.. Maybe you are using := and not wrapping the path with double quotes ?
| Code: | EnvGet, SD, SystemDrive
sfullpath=%SD%\Documents and Settings\%A_UserName%\Local Settings\Temp
MsgBox, % sFullPath
if InStr(FileExist(sfullpath), "D")
{
msgbox, "%sfullpath%" is a folder!`nSet "%sfilename%" to blank!
sfilename =
} |
