FileExists method

Prototype

FileExists Proto lpszFilePath:LPSTR

Syntax

Invoke FileExists, lpszFilePath

Function

Checks whether a file exists or not.

Parameters

lpszFilePath

Pointer to the effective address of the null-terminated string containing the full path of the file to check.

Return value

Eax/Rax returns INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE if the file DOES NOT EXIST, or any other value if IT DOES (usually TRUE).

REMARKS: The FileExists method expects lpszFilePath to be a Unicode string if the application is running as Unicode, or an ANSI string if not (see the IsAppUnicode method). You can call FileExistsA if lpszFilePath is an ANSI string in Unicode applications, or FileExistsW if lpszFilePath is a Unicode string in ANSI applications.
