In your example, [EXISTS] should return =93T=94, bu= t [ISFILE] will return =93F=94.

If you ignore trailing slashes, what would you expect for [FILEINFO /][EXISTS][/FILEINFO]?

The *nix command line treats =93/bin=94 the same as =93/bin/=93, WebDNA should as well.

For this reason, I rarely use [EXISTS], since I almost always know whether I=92m looking for a folder or a file. Though sometimes I use both [EXISTS] and [ISFILE] to make sure I don=92t overwrite a folder with a file.

Hello,

[FileInfo file=3D./[path]/images/[t_filename]][Exists][/FileInfo]
Expected results:
if [t_filename] equals blank, then result expected is F
However, since the directory =91images=92 in
./[path]/images/
exists, the result currently is T

I believe that rather if there is a trailing =91/=91 character in the path, file info EXISTS should return F=85 *always*.

discuss. :-)
