fileinfo with variable as filepath

[ajdazeve]

Hi there,
I am trying to build an if condition to find out if a file exists. However the filepath is contained in a variable . In this case variable name = item
Now I am trying the following
${FileInfo('"${item}"'):exists}
I tried with simple ,double quote… it tries to find item not the actual content of the variable.
To put a bigger picture on the project… here is what it will does.
Project gets file list from a folder…. Then goes into a loop
sends each file to an icap server for scanning..
if there’s a virus it deletes the whole folder ….( we don’t want any of the content if a virus is found).
Then it goes back in the loop grabs the next file.
Now this work very well if a virus is the last file in the list. Elsewhere since I deleted the folder the next icap request is with and empty file … that return an error code that is the same as if the antivirus dosent responds. In order to avoid unnecessary calls and false positive I want to put a if condition
Just before calling the antivirus module… verify if the file exists… if so …. Go if not next file.
Any ideas?

The parameter for the FileInfo command has to be a STRING. Thus,

${ FileInfo(String( item ) ):exists }

Should get you what you're looking for!
