After upgrading to 3.4.10 on our Test server,
I have noticed that FileExists is not working.
Here is my code. I've put a file into the root
directory (C:\) and have not been able to get the
true part of the code to work.
Example: ONEDEFER_CDATA is the file I'm looking for.
I put the file in the C:\ directory and type in:
C:\\ONEDEFER_CDATA as the file name, and the false
code is executed. Typing in C:\ONEDEFER_CDATA
does not work either.

InputBox "Enter Full Path and file name", "EDIT", move_file_complete_name
FileExists move_file_complete_name file_exist
ChooseCase (file_exist end_case)
Case "True"

concatex move_file_complete_name, " File has been found", message

MessageBox message
CaseElse

concatex move_file_complete_name, " File has not been found", message

MessageBox message
end_case:

Does your file have any extension?

Line FileExists move_file_complete_name file_exist
shoud be changed to conform to the JAL syntax
either as
FileExists move_file_complete_name, file_exist
or as
FileExists(move_file_complete_name, file_exist)

The file name in the example does not have an extension.
I loaded this same code onto our production server,
which is still using version 3.4.9, and the FileExists
command found the file I was looking for. I have
tried both of the syntax examples that you listed here,
but neither of them worked.

If a file exists on one server it does not automatically mean it also exists on another server.

Are you positive you have the same file on both servers?

Yes. I move the file to each server before I attempt
my test.

I just tested your script and found out where the problem is. Please change

Case "True" to
Case true

Also to make life easier I suggest to replace
InputBox "Enter Full Path and file name", "EDIT", move_file_complete_name
with
InputBox "Enter Full Path and file name", "FILE BROWSE", move_file_complete_name

Then you do not have to type file names you use File Browse dialog to pick them

Yes, that did work. Thank you. Also, thank you for the
tip, it might come in handy sometime.
