Hello,

I am continuing my discovery of VN Win, which requires me some time to adapt after having invested myself for two decades in another excellent RAD (unfortunately now stopped). I have several remarks to present, but I know that VN Win is currently evolving, so I will be patient. On the other hand, I came across a problem that I am submitting here.

I am looking for a way to perform a simple test like IF (this file exists) THEN (action). However, unless I am misinterpreting, I understand that I am obliged to go through a variable to place the result of the test before being able to use it :

FileExists "myFile.ext" "[result]"

if "[result]" "=" "false"
    AlertBox "Status" "Missing file"
EndIf

Is there a way to make the code lighter by not using a variable and thus grouping the test and its processing on the same line, something like this:

if FileExists "myFile.ext" "[result]" "=" "false"
    AlertBox "Status" "Missing file"
EndIf

That's it for today, with all my thanks :).
