: {{Parameter|theFileExists%}} = [[_FILEEXISTS]]({{Parameter|filename$}})

{{PageDescription}}
|
|
* The {{Parameter|filename$}} parameter can be a literal or variable [[STRING|string]] value that can include a path.
|
|
* The function returns -1 when a file exists and 0 when it does not.
|
|
* The function reads the system information directly without using a [[SHELL]] procedure.

|
* The function will use the appropriate Operating System path separators. [[_OS$]] can determine the operating system.
