I know the script for testing if file exists (file.isopen)

Is there an equivalent of Java 'import java.io.*' in max6 or max7?

I want to keep it in javascript cos it's part of a bigger db scripting

It does not work with folders.

javascript-_-folder-exists-and-create

there is Folder object in JS with which u can scan specified location for files . U can retrieve names of files and folders , paths , sizes .etc .

You can restrict it to scan for folders only too .

var fold = new Folder("c:");
fold.typelist = ["fold"] ;
while(!fold.end){
    post(fold.filename,"\n");
    fold.next();
}

Strictly for testing if the folder exists. No iteration through files...

function folderExists(file){
    var fold = new Folder(file);
    if (fold.end) {    
        return (false);
    }
    else {
    return (true);
    }
}


function folderExists(file){
	var fold = new Folder(file);
	if (fold.end) {	
		return (false);
	}
	else {
	return (true);
	}
}


javascript _ folder exists and create
