hello all

what i'am trying to do is check to see if a file is in a folder

for explame

c:\test\test\whatever.1st

whatever = any file name

now i know i can use @ext(1st) for the file ext BUT i can't uses @name() cause that could be anaything

any ideas how to get @file to work right with just a file ext? or any other ideas how to do this? or i'am overlooking something simple?

thanks

Could you explain a little better what exactly you are trying to do?

[tim6389]

what i'am trying to do is if file whatever.1st is in folder test do something if its not then go onto next part of the script... the problem i have is that whatever can be any file name so is there a way to make @file() look at file ext?

thanks

to explain more is:

%f = c:\test\test\whatever.1st

if @file(%F)

INFO %f file is there

end

now how can i have @file check for a file when the filename can be diff but the ext will be the same?

i hope i explain this better

sorry about

I think @file(c:\test\test\*.1st) would also work.
