Hi, you could use FileType[]: - FileType["file"] gives the type of a file, typically File, Directory or None. - FileType returns None if the file specified does not exist. you can define the following functions for testing if name is a file/directory: FileQ[name_String]:=FileType[name]===File DirectoryQ[name_String]:=FileType[name]===Directory Regards, Marcus -- God knows.
