File path to server - how?

[sprynmd]

I'm trying to use CheckWhetherFileExists on both a Mac and a PC to access a Windows server volume. I can't figure out the path name format to get it to look outside the primary disk volume. I can find folders and files on my main volume just fine, but nowhere else.

This should work

:/Folder/File

Anyway, this is how I got it working on a WIN machine. Didn't try it yet for a MAC...

I use :

Define variable [$$file;Value:"//PC name/folder" & xx:yy ]

If [ CheckWheterFileExists($$file = "1" ]

and so on

Thanks for the suggestions. Since my last post I ended up finding a non-plugin approach described at Topic 202706. So far it's working pretty well, but I'll be watching for a cleaner solution.

I'm back to using ScriptMaster CheckWhetherFileExists() - too many issues with the import approach. To determine exactly what the path name formats should be for Mac and PC, I used the SelectFile() module to see what it returns when I point to a file in the various places (locally and on a server).

Now it appears that I have an issue with DeleteFileOrFolder() not returning the documented results. But that's another topic...
