 |
|
Is there a way to determine if a string is a file vs folder?
I need to treat folders differently to files, but an ifexist will only tell me if it exists, not whether it's a file or a folder
any ideas? |

Maybe use a file/folder loop? Posting some of your code may help too. |

Thanks... the file folder loop worked.
| Code: | Loop, %path%, 2 ;the 2 specifies to only loop for folders
{
msgbox This must be a folder/path
} |

Following method will return True/False if a Path is Folder/ Or not.
| Code: | MsgBox, % !! DllCall( "shlwapi\PathIsDirectoryA", Str,A_Windir )
; Or
Msgbox, % InStr( FileExist(A_WinDir), "D" ) ? 1 : 0

| Code: | Loop %A_Temp%\*.*, 1 ; Loop folders and files
If InStr( A_LoopFileAttrib, "D" )
MsgBox, %A_LoopFileName%`nis a Folder
Else
MsgBox, %A_LoopFileName%`nis a File |
