Check that file exists
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
Verify that a file called input.txt and a directory called docs exist.
This should be done twice:
- once for the current working directory, and
- once for a file and a directory in the filesystem root.
Optional criteria (May 2015): verify it works with:
- zero-length files
- an unusual filename: `Abdu'l-Bahá.txt

fs:is_file(‘input.txt’)
fs:is_file(‘/input.txt’)
fs:is_dir(‘docs’)
fs:is_dir(‘/docs’)

PROC file exists = ( STRING file name )BOOL:

THEN
# file opened OK so must exist #
close( f );
TRUE
ELSE

FALSE
FI # file exists # ;
# print a suitable messages if the specified file exists #
PROC test file exists = ( STRING name )VOID:
print( ( "file: "

AutoHotkey
AutoHotkey’s FileExist() function returns an attribute string (a subset of "RASHNDOCT") if a matching file or directory is found. The attribute string must be parsed for the letter D to determine whether the match is a directory or file.
Another option is AutoHotkey's IfExist/IfNotExist command

Try a file, then check the error status of the disk drive. Error code 62 is the "File not found" error. The trick is to open the file without specifying the file type (PRG, SEQ, REL, etc.) and the Read/Write mode in the OPEN statement, otherwise you may end up with error code 64 "File Type Mismatch".

Common Lisp
probe-file returns nil if a file does not exist. directory returns nil if there are no files in a specified directory.
(if (probe-file (make-pathname :name "input.txt"))
(print "rel file exists"))
(if (probe-file (make-pathname :directory '(:absolute "") :name "input.txt"))
(print "abs file exists"))

(if (directory (make-pathname :directory '(:absolute "docs")))
(print "abs directory exists")
(print "abs directory is not known to exist"))
There is no standardized way to determine if an empty directory exists, as Common Lisp dates from before the notion of directories as a type of file was near-universal. CL-FAD provides many of the therefore-missing capabilities in a cross-implementation library.

DuckDB
Files
DuckDB's table-valued glob() function can be used to check whether a particular file exists, at least if it can be read, but care must be used if the file's pathname has any glob characters. DuckDB's glob() is based on Python's glob.
For present purposes, it will be helpful to wrap glob() in a scalar function as follows:
create or replace function file_exists(fn) as (
1 = (select count(file) from glob(fn)) );
Here's an illustrative transcript, where "D " denotes the DuckDB prompt:
D select file_exists('input.txt'); ┌──────────────────────────┐ │ file_exists('input.txt') │ │ boolean │ ├──────────────────────────┤ │ true │ └──────────────────────────┘ # Notice the doubling of the singe-quote character in the filename: D select file_exists('`Abdu''l-Bahá.txt'); ┌──────────────────────────────────┐ │ file_exists('`Abdu''l-Bahá.txt') │ │ boolean │ ├──────────────────────────────────┤ │ false │ └──────────────────────────────────┘ D select file_exists('/tmp/docs/input.txt') as file; ┌─────────┐ │ file │ │ boolean │ ├─────────┤ │ false │ └─────────┘ D select * from glob('/tmp/ExmanProcessMutex'); ┌────────────────────────┐ │ file │ │ varchar │ ├────────────────────────┤ │ /tmp/ExmanProcessMutex │ └────────────────────────┘
Directories
DuckDB does not have a function for determining whether a directory exists, though in an interactive session, one could use the .shell to "shell-out" to check, e.g.
.shell test -d docs
E
for file in [<file:input.txt>,
<file:///input.txt>] {
require(file.exists(), fn { `$file is missing!` })
require(!file.isDirectory(), fn { `$file is a directory!` })
}
for file in [<file:docs>,
<file:///docs>] {
require(file.exists(), fn { `$file is missing!` })
require(file.isDirectory(), fn { `$file is not a directory!` })
}

(Many of the samples on this page do not check that the files are actually a file or the directories are actually a directory.)

JavaScript
Javascript interpreters are now widely embedded in contexts which do have access to file systems, but the early context of browser scripting has precluded the inclusion of file system libraries in the definition of the language itself. Each non-browser JS context is likely to have its own home-grown and unstandardised file system library.

set the defaultFolder to "docs"
there is a file "input.txt"

For directories, the following only works on platforms on which directories can be opened for reading like files.
function output( s, b )
if b then
print ( s, " does not exist." )
else
print ( s, " does exist." )
end
end
output( "input.txt", io.open( "input.txt", "r" ) == nil )
output( "/input.txt", io.open( "/input.txt", "r" ) == nil )
output( "docs", io.open( "docs", "r" ) == nil )
output( "/docs", io.open( "/docs", "r" ) == nil )
The following more portable solution uses LuaFileSystem.
require "lfs"
for i, path in ipairs({"input.txt", "/input.txt", "docs", "/docs"}) do
local mode = lfs.attributes(path, "mode")
if mode then
print(path .. " exists and is a " .. mode .. ".")
else
print(path .. " does not exist.")

We can specify the width of the text, and by moving the cursor horizontal we can specify the left margin. This statement can be used to any layer, including user forms and printer page.

PL/M
This sample assumes that the original 8080 PL/M compiler is used and that the program will be running under CP/M.
CP/M doesn't have a hierarchical file-system, so there are no folders or directories. This sample looks for INPUT.TXT on the current drive and also on the D: drive. An error will occur if there is no D: drive, so it is best not to run this if you haven't got one... :)
Note that CP/M restricts file names to 7-bit ascii upper-case and not all non-letter, non-digit characters can be used.
CP/M filenames are up to 8 characters long with an optional, up to three character extension.

To run:
Start up.
\ In the current working directory
Check that ".\input.txt" is in the file system.
Check that ".\docs\" is in the file system.
\ In the filesystem root
Check that "C:\input.txt" is in the file system.
Check that "C:\docs\" is in the file system.
Wait for the escape key.
Shut down.
To check that a path is in the file system:
If the path is in the file system, write the path then " exists" to the output; exit.
If the path is not in the file system, write the path then " does not exist" to the output; exit.
Pop11
sys_file_exists('input.txt') =>
sys_file_exists('/input.txt') =>
sys_file_exists('docs') =>
sys_file_exists('/docs') =>
Note that the above literally checks for existence. Namely sys_file_exists returns true if file exists but can not be read.
The only sure method to check if file can be read is to try to open it. If one just wants to check if file is readable the following may be useful:
;;; Define an auxilary function, returns boolean
define file_readable(fname);
lvars f = sysopen(fname, 0, true, `A`);
if f then
sysclose(f);
return (true);
else
return (false);
endif;
enddefine;
The above works but is not the only way or the best way to check status of a file in Pop11. There is a very general procedure sys_file_stat that allows interrogation of a file or directory. The full documentation can be seen in the online documentation (search for sys_file_stat):
http://wwwcgi.rdg.ac.uk:8081/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/wsi14/poplog/pop11/ref/sysio
http://www.poplog.org/docs/popdocs/pop11/ref/sysio
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/poplog/doc/popref/sysio (Not so well formatted).
Users can easily define special cases of the general procedure.

os.path.isfile("/input.txt")
os.path.isdir("docs")
os.path.isdir("/docs")
The more generic os.path.exists(path)
function will return True if the path exists, being it either a regular file or a directory.

Ruby
File.exist?
only checks if a file exists; it can be a regular file, a directory, or something else. File.file?
or File.directory?
checks for a regular file or a directory. Ruby also allows FileTest.file?
or FileTest.directory?
.
File.file?("input.txt")
File.file?("/input.txt")
File.directory?("docs")
File.directory?("/docs")
The next program runs all four checks and prints the results.
["input.txt", "/input.txt"].each { |f|
printf "%s is a regular file? %s\n", f, File.file?(f) }
["docs", "/docs"].each { |d|
printf "%s is a directory? %s\n", d, File.directory?(d) }

Smalltalk
Squeak has no notion of 'current directory' because it isn't tied to the shell that created it.
FileDirectory new fileExists: 'c:\serial'.
(FileDirectory on: 'c:\') directoryExists: 'docs'.
In GNU Smalltalk instead you can do:
(Directory name: 'docs') exists ifTrue: [ ... ]
(Directory name: 'c:\docs') exists ifTrue: [ ... ]
(File name: 'serial') isFile ifTrue: [ ... ]
(File name: 'c:\serial') isFile ifTrue: [ ... ]
Using exists in the third and fourth case will return true for directories too.

Stata
Mata has functions to check the existence of files and directories:
mata
fileexists("input.txt")
direxists("docs")
end
It's not as straightforward in Stata's macro language. For files, use confirm. Since it throws an error when the file does not exist, use capture and check _rc afterwards.
capture confirm file input.txt
if !_rc {
* do something if the file exists
}
It's not possible to check the existence of a directory with confirm. One may use the confirmdir package from SSC. The confirmdir command saves the current directory, then tries to chdir to the directory to test (with capture to prevent an error). Then the value of _rc is put in a stored result. Example of use:
confirmdir docs
if !`r(confirmdir)' {
* do something if the directory exists
}
The command works with special names, but one has to be careful: the name "`Abdu'l-Bahá.txt" contains a backquote, which is used to denote macros in Stata. So this character must be escaped with a backslash:
confirm file "\`Abdu'l-Bahá.txt"
Tcl
Taking the meaning of the task from the DOS example:
if { [file exists "input.txt"] } {
puts "input.txt exists"
}
if { [file exists [file nativename "/input.txt"]] } {
puts "/input.txt exists"
}
if { [file isdirectory "docs"] } {
puts "docs exists and is a directory"
}
if { [file isdirectory [file nativename "/docs"]] } {
puts "/docs exists and is a directory"
}
Note that these operations do not require the use of file nativename on either Windows or any version of Unix.

The easiest way to do this in Ursa is to attempt to open the file in question. If it doesn't exist, an ioerror will be thrown.

catch ioerror
return false
end try

Wren
Empty files and directories have been created beforehand.
To check a file or directory exists in the root, just change "input.txt" to "/input.txt" and "docs" to "/docs" in the following script.
Since in Linux an empty directory has a size of 4K bytes, we check the number of files it contains to confirm that it's empty.
import "io" for Directory, File
for (name in ["input.txt", "`Abdu'l-Bahá.txt"]) {
if (File.exists(name)) {
System.print("%(name) file exists and has a size of %(File.size(name)) bytes.")
} else {
System.print("%(name) file does not exist.")
}
}
var dir = "docs"
// if it exists get number of files it contains
if (Directory.exists(dir)) {
var files = Directory.list(dir).count
System.print("%(dir) directory exists and contains %(files) files.")
} else {
System.print("%(dir) directory does not exist.")
}
- Output:
input.txt file exists and has a size of 0 bytes. `Abdu'l-Bahá.txt file exists and has a size of 0 bytes. docs directory exists and contains 0 files.
