Question: If,ExistFile wildcard ?

Hi ied206,

what is the default behaviour of
If,ExistFile,
with PEBakery using wildcard

Does it check subfolders or not ?

reallife example:
There is only one issue:

Components\Search plugin had
If,ExistFile,%Source_Sys%\prm*.dll
line in the past that cause failure.

From end user log, It seems wb checks subfolders or something else cause failure,
 so I workaround not to check subfolders (Call,ExistFile) and it worked.

You work on SE\"1 - Copy Files" and similar plugins using wildcard recently and add compatible If,ExistFile,
From SE\"1 - Copy Files" lines, I highly guess If,ExistFile,* .. should not check subfolders
(even if it checks, current If,ExistFile,* lines can not find such files (or folders) inside subfolder)
 but I did not check all line by line, and I did not create a test plugin to see default behaviour of wb and PEBakery.
  (low time of the year....)

You recently work on such things, so it is faster to ask you ?

PEBakery does not check for subdirectory when wildcard is used.
And I agree that the subdirectory should not be checked in If,ExistFile.
When I find those usage, I will report right away.

Thanks ied206,

Keep in mind to write PEBakery behaviour for
If,ExistFile wildcard *?
If,ExistDir wildcard *?
to help document.

Following current help document
https://github.com/ied206/PEBakery/blob/master/Manual/Commands/01_File/FileCopy.md
and current topic,

updated SE\Components\Search plugin(s) with following lines:

Code: [Select]

If,ExistVar,%EngineVersion%,Begin
  If,ExistFile,%Source_Sys%\prm*.dll,FileCopy,%Source_Sys%\prm*.dll,%Target_Sys%,NOREC
End
