I'm trying to get out on VB thinking and into Rev
I searched under exist and fount nothing. Can some1 help with this code?
Hmmm.... this is another interesting search anomaly.
Had you searched for the English singular verb form "exists" (e.g. "if this exists then...") you would have found the "exists" function. While that function only tests the existence of objects, it has a See Also item that points to the "there is" operator for files and folders.
But since "exist" is a substring of "exists", it would be nice if there was a substring option to compliment the whole-word search apparently driving the docs now.
Yesterday's search was similar: you had searched for "keyPress", which is a programmer term, but had you searched for the English phrase "key press" you would have found what you were looking for quickly.
As we explore the strengths and weaknesses of the docs' Search tool here, I'm taking notes and passing them along to those who might be able to improve its results. So please keep 'em coming: anytime you don't find something easily, dropping a note here not only gets you the answer but also makes folks aware of ways to improve the usefulness of the docs.
In the meantime, perhaps one general rule these searches suggest for better results is to try the common English form of a phrase when the VB term doesn't turn up what you'd expect.
Thanks for the post.
