Thread: How to Know if a file exists...

Hi

I am currently making a game that has an option where you can create new playeyes by creating txt documents and saving them as a format.
If I know what I want to open I can read the file but how do I know how many files are in the format and open each one seperatly??
Thanks

if I have read your question right then this may help ->

//assuming that the file of player 01 is called player01

if(player01)
{
//if the file name is in the 'if' statement then it will only do
// this, if the filename doesn't exist then it won't do this
}

hope this helps

I think what he's asking is how to enumerate an arbitrary number of arbitrarily named files ending in a single extension.

E.g. he wants to read ALL text files in a directory, but won't know the name or number beforehand.

Look at the findfirst() and findnext() functions -- I think this is what you need.

ooops....

I would have an option in the game to make a player and then make the file with the new players name.

I can't think of anyway to help with your method
