hi guys !

How can I test if file exist ?
I want to test if file exist like a VBS file system method such as FS.FileExists(PathFile) (or FS.FolderExists(PathFolder)) which return true or false as the case.

I don't find a similar method in liveCode and I can not to believe it

Thanks by advance for your help !
