Suppose, my music folder contains several files such as Bach-BWV545.mp3 Bach-BWV563.mp3 Bach-BWV564.mp4 Suppose further, that we make a VisualNeo Win program that checks if a specific file exists. For this task, VisualNeo has the action command FileExists: SetVar “[File]” “Bach-BWV545.mp3” […]

I did not find a post on this topic. So I made some examples for […]
