Testing to see if a folder exists in a location

[PaulHough]

I have a flow that will reach out and grab a folder from a location and injects it into a flow via metadata.



What i need is;



if (folder exists){current code}

else {send email}.



I have tried the job.getFileCount() but I couldn't retrieve a value with a location path.



Any suggestions would be helpful.



Thanks,

PH







function jobArrived( s : Switch, job : Job )

{

var JobNumber = job.getVariableAsString('[Metadata.Text:Path="/field-list/field[2]/field-list/field/value",Dataset="Submit",Model="XML"]');

var theSourcePath = job.createPathWithName( JobNumber );





s.copy( "/Users/prinergy/Desktop/Fake jobs/"+JobNumber, theSourcePath );

job.sendToSingle( theSourcePath );

job.sendToNull( job.getPath() );



s.log(1,JobNumber);

}

You can't send an email directly from a script. You will have to set the email variables and send it using an Email Send element in you flow.



function jobArrived( s : Switch, job : Job )

{

var JobNumber = job.getVariableAsString('[Metadata.Text:Path="/field-list/field[2]/field-list/field/value",Dataset="Submit",Model="XML"]');

var theSourcePath = job.createPathWithName( JobNumber );



var folderName = "/Users/prinergy/Desktop/Fake jobs/"+JobNumber;

if (File.exists(folderName)) {

s.copy( folderName, theSourcePath );

job.sendToSingle( theSourcePath );

job.sendToNull( job.getPath() );



s.log(1,JobNumber);

} else {

s.log(1,"Folder " + folderName + " does not exist");

}

}

Do i have to declare File as a Var?

[dkelly]

no, because File.exists() is a static function.

[PaulHough]

Is there a site that lists all of the static function?

No, you have to review the Javascript documentation for each class. It will list the static functions.
