Why don't you just try opening it with std::ofstream ?

That's an odd question, and most likely grammatically wrong.
Should I answer yes or no?
Thanks


And the real question is somewhere else I presume?
I'm assuming it's not in the subject, so where could
it be?

Incidently, don't put questions in the subjects please.

That being said, it depends on your OS. Each OS would do it differently.
Hench, ask in the newsgroup for the OS your's working with.

microsoft.publi c.vc

if your'e on Windows. Otherwise find the newsgroup for your OS.

I am using the System.IO.File class to determine if a file exists on a network share. The File.Exists method keeps returning false, even though the file does exist. The MSDN documentation states, "If the caller does not have sufficient permissions to read the specified file, no exception is thrown and the method returns false regardless of the existence of path."

What is the quickiest and easiest way to make a py script run on a Web server? I have access to an Apache Web server running on Linux. I'm often asked to run some of my scripts on behalf of others. My hope is to make a simple Web-based interface where people could run the scripts themselves whenever they like... instead of asking me. I'd rather not rewrite the scripts with PHP. Any tips on a fast, easy way of doing this?

Hello, In one of my asp.net applications I test the existence of a file, like so: File.Exists(Server.MapPath("/path/file.jpg"))); This was failing, even though the path returned by Server.MapPath was clearly present. After some debugging, I discovered that the the asp.net account didn't have permission to execute File.Exists. Apparently File.Exists simply returns "false" instead of throwing an exception if it doesn't have the...
