Check to see if file exsists (perl running on vista)

chanshaw

Hey I'm trying to see if a file exsists but I'm using windows, I know in Linux you can use -e but that doesn't seem to work for me in windows.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
    if (-e $filename)

    {

        print "File Doesn't Exist!";

    }

Your example is logically reversed, it should be:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

  
    if (-e $filename)

    {

        print "File Exists!";

    }

-e works on Windows.
