Detect physical file verses file in a library

[Anonymous]

Hi, I am using file.Open (IO::File::ReadMode) to determine if a texture file exists on disk. However it appears to return NoError when a file which is embedded inside a .pla is specified. Is there some way to determine if the file is an actual file, or inside a .pla pls?

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

IO::fileSystem.Contains should be used for checking if file exists.

#include "FileSystem.hpp"


	IO::Location fileLoc (<path>);

	bool		exists = false;
	GSErrCode	err = IO::fileSystem.Contains (fileLoc, &exists);
	if (err != NoError)
		ErrorBeep ("Error in IO::fileSystem.Contains", err);

Tibor
