The '''DIR$''' function below is '''NOT A QB64 FUNCTION!''' This page supplies equivalent QB code:

{{PageSyntax}}
|
|
::: filename$ = '''DIR$('''{filespec$|""}''')'''
|
|
|
|
|
|
The DIR$ function used in PDS(7.1) returns a filename or a list when more than one exist. The file spec can use a path and/or wildcards.

:''Explanation:'' The function will verify that a file exists (even if it is empty) by returning it's name or it returns an empty string if no file exists. It can return a list of file names by using an empty string parameter("") after sending a wildcard spec to get the first file name. The number of file names found is returned by using the SHARED variable, '''DIRCount%'''. Unlike the PDS DIR$ function, '''it MUST use an empty string parameter until QB64 supports optional parameters!''' The function does NOT delete empty files.
