help with getting turing to check if a file exists

[CodeMonkey2000]

ok, is there a way to check(within turing) if a file exists? say i have a zelda game that's useing 2d mapping, and when it gets to an area i havent stored in a data file, i want it say "Sorry this area is not yet complete", so when i do get around to finishing the area, the program automatically detects that the file exists and displays the area, with out me having to change the code?

Yeah, the function File.Exists is exactly what you're looking for.

Wow, now once you know that file doesn't exist, is there a way to make turing create it? i'm making a level editor for my mario game, and it saves all the objects in a data file, and asks then the user what they want to save it as (the file does'nt exist but I want turing to create it).

Yeah. I'm pretty sure that if you write to a file that doesn't exist, it will be created for you. This might not be the same if you try appending to a file (using the mod option). Test it out, and report back here!

Also you can use Dir.Create to create a folder if it is not yet created

well Dir.Create works,and writing in a file that doesnt exist works too, so i guess it's good either wya .
