Re^4: question regarding File::Copy, and hashes that contain file paths

How would I check to see if the file exists with this? So we have @f defined as the list of company numbers (C## - which represents company ID ) and for each of those, we're renaming the directory and moving it, but it breaks when it hits the key that does not exist in the folder (company 6 is not inside my zip, but it is a possible company that CAN be in the zip) so I'm looking for a quick way to check if the actual file, that corresponds with the key in our @f, even exists because if it doesn't, i need to skip it. I think this will involve next, or exists, or maybe both. Any insight?

This is exactly what I needed. I ended up using: `my $base_path = 'e:/iwantfileshere'; dirmove($from,$to) if -e $base_path;` [download] Thank you for your help!	[reply] [d/l]

I think you should use closer to the version I showed :P with `-f` and `-d` and maybe mix in `-r` but the functions should report that kind of problem if it arises. `-e` might mean a directory exists but it also could be a file or a link and probably more.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
