Code: Select all

if there is a file tMyFilePath then
   DoSomething
else
   answer "The file "& quote& tMyFilePath &quote&" cannot be found."
end if

Yep, there is a "there is" operator. Welcome to LiveCode.

Hi snop21,
put "C:\Users\snop21\Documents\theFile.txt" into tMyFilePath

Now does Richard's code make sense?
