FileExists FSO

[Poppy]

If I do the following :
------------------------------------
set fsd=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if fsd.fileexists("C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\test.doc") = true then
response.Write("EXISTS")
else
response.write "DOESNT EXIST"
end if
-------------------------------------
I get : "EXISTS"
-------------------------------------
However if I do this :
---------------------------------------
set fsd=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
myfile = "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\test.doc"
if fsd.fileexists(myfile) = true then
response.Write("EXISTS")
else
response.write "DOESNT EXIST"
end if

I failed to reproduce the issue.

I fixed it.

I just performed a reboot and everything was OK.

Thanks

You must have made a mistake because my code hereunder works ok:

<%
set fsd=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if fsd.fileexists(server.mappath("test.asp")) then
response.Write "EXISTS"
else
response.write "DOESNT EXIST"
end if

set fsd=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
myfile = server.mappath("test.asp")
if fsd.fileexists(myfile) then
response.Write "EXISTS"
else
response.write "DOESNT EXIST"
end if
%>

btw:

1
if x = true then
is the same as
if x then

2
response.Write("EXISTS")
is the same as
response.Write "EXISTS"
