"Some examples on this page assume that the original file already exists. They might fail if some user is trying to create a new file." So, is it a task requirement that solutions should simply create a new file if there is no existing file? That is not something I would read into "In this task you should create a backup file from an existing file..." If this case is desired it should be added as one of the bullet points. —[[User:Sonia|Sonia]] 23:11, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
:if the file does not exist, it should not be created. it would be nice if the code would fail gracefully if the file is missing, but i don't think this is necessary. it is just a code snippet to solve a particular problem. i'd expect developers to adapt the code if their situation is slightly different. [[Ensure that a file exists]] solves that part for example. no need to repeat it here.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 03:07, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
