How to check if file exists.

[martinpluss]

Hi,
I'm trying to write some javascript that will check to see if a settings file exists so that I can use its contents later in the application. I have an external code execution block in the main flow and I pass the working directory to it as a parameter.

I have the following code:

function CheckFileExists()
{
var g_fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

var path = arguments[0] + "\settings.ini";

if (g_fso.FileExists(path))
        {
            return "true";
        }
else
		{
			return "false";
		}
}

But this fails and the 3CXIvrServer.log shows:

Error! Module '3CX.com.OSBjsi'. Error ID 501. errmsgReferenceError: ActiveXObject is not definedline3linetxttokentxt

Any ideas how I fix my code to achieve this?

OK. So I ended up completely rethinking my application flow and put all file operations into a dotnet library which I now reference from the the Voice Application.

I use my custom dotnet library for all file functions (like ifexists, copy, rename etc) and it works great (although I had to blow the dust off of my vb.net skillset )

I have blogged about this Voice Application build here http://www.plussconnect.org.uk/2011/12/my-first-voice-application/ and included the source for download in case anyone finds it useful.

Happy new year!
