How can we check if a file Exists or not using Win32 program?
How can we check if a file Exists or not using a Win32 program? I am working for a Windows Mobile App.
Use GetFileAttributes to check that the file system object exists and that it is not a directory.
BOOL FileExists(LPCTSTR szPath)
{
DWORD dwAttrib = GetFileAttributes(szPath);
return (dwAttrib != INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES &&
!(dwAttrib & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY));
}
Copied from How do you check if a directory exists on Windows in C?
You can make use of the function GetFileAttributes. It returns 0xFFFFFFFF if the file does not exist.
