You could try the direxist verb from the general/dirutils addon.

Subject: [Jprogramming] Checking for directory existence in Windows


Hi,

I made an EDI to XML converter with Mac. But running the same code in Windows 
stumbles into a problem.

Technically, the following code returns different values in both windows and 
mac:
IN WINDOWS:
   load 'files'
   fexist 'c:\Windows\'
0

IN MAC:
   load 'files'
   fexist '/Users/bathala/Documents/'
1

In both cases above, the directory exists but the results are different.

Do we have an existing code that checks for existence of directories and works 
in both Windows and OSX?

Thanks.

r/Alex
