isexist(): filepath not exist/or file/or folder

Show all headers | View raw

Hi Everyone!

Let me introduce isexist() function to those who work extensively with the file system while programming in gawk. This function provides a fast way to check whether a path exists and what it points to: a file or a folder.

The isexist() function is "packaged" into a small library file, isexist.lib, available for download at:

github.com/digics/isarray10

The link also provides access to documentation files in two languages and an example.awk file containing usage examples of the isexist() function, which is also available for download there.

I would be glad if this function proves useful to gawk users who actively work with the file system.
