FileExists() for all targets?

[DiffrenzyKeymaster]

Is there a way to check if a file exists (on all targets) ?

I’ve been trying GetFileType(“asset::myfile.txt”)<> FileType.None , but I don’t think I’m getting correct results.

Try: GetFileType( AssetsDir()+”myfile.txt” )

There’s a bit of a mismatch between ‘stream paths’ and ‘filesystem paths’ at the moment, ie: ‘asset::’ only works when opening a stream, but things like GetFileType, GetFileTime etc work with filesystem paths. It should probably work everywhere (where possible – assets aren’t always stored in the filesystem) but there are other issues with filesystem paths and soft/hard links that also need to be dealt with. Feel free to add an issue referencing this post though.

I’ll let tinyXML, fail and report error for now, that seems stable.

Will post this to github
