Checks if the given file exists.

Parameters
filenameFile to check.
Returns
Error code (true = file exists, false = file doesn't exist)

◆ find_file()

bool find_file ( ArrayOfString matches,
const String filename,
const ArrayOfString paths,
const ArrayOfString extensions 
)

Searches through paths for a file with a matching name.

If the filename starts with '/', the search path is ignored.

Parameters
[in,out]matchesMatching files are appended to this list.
[in]filenameFile to find.
[in]pathsList of paths to look in for the file.
[in]extensionsList of extensions to add to base filename.
Returns
Error code (true = file found, false = file not found)

◆ find_xml_file()

void find_xml_file ( String filename,
const Verbosity verbosity 
)

Find an xml file.

If it doesn't exist in the current directory, also search the include and data path. Also tests if a compressed version exists.

The filename will be modified to contain the full path to the found match.

Parameters
[in,out]filenameFile to check.
[in]verbosityVerbosity
Exceptions
runtime_errorif file is not found.
