Checking if directory exists

What is the best way to check if a directory exists?

I have been using...

set the defaultfolder to tFolderToSearch
if the result is "can't open directory" then....

Not sure if this is correct?

Warren, you're going to love this one: Rev has a "there is" operator, e.g.:

Code: Select all

if there is a folder tFolderToSearch then

Nice, eh?

Rev also supports "there is not":

Code: Select all

if there is not a folder tFolderToSearch then

You can use these with files, folders, and object descriptors.
