Here's some sample macro code using the F_EXIST() function. This will get
you started.
// assign default path and name for log file from shape file
#LOGFILE=SHPFILE()
#LOGFILE=STRIP_EXT(#LOGFILE)
#LOGFILE=STRTMP("%LOGFILE.log")
// check for existing file of same name
#EXIST=F_EXIST(#LOGFILE)
// prompt to overwrite if existing file found
IF(#EXIST=1)
PAUSE[TX=STRTMP("%LOGFILE already exists.\n
Overwrite the file?"), PT=1]
ENDIF

Subject: [mfg-smartcam] macro help
Hello,
I have been using and modifying a macro that all of you have been adding
to without your knowledgefor quite a while, improving on it as I go. I just
came up with something that I know there is a possibly simple answer for.
How can I have my macro check to see if the file already exists and ask me
if I really want to overwrite it or not?
Then if I don't want it to overwrite, is it possible to ask me to specify
a file name to save it under and of course check to see if this file name is
unused.
thanks,
Rick Stannard
