checking for an existing file

[Urme webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hello everyone, I would like to check for an existing external file. However I would like to check if a file has not been written yet.
Now from the beginning! I am writing files with user information (e.g. images of the user) on my HD. I would like to number them and check for the last number that has been written. Therefore I would properly need an integer loop or something that checks if file one is written, if file two is written... and so on...
any ideas how to write that in lingo!?
thanks everyone!

with filextra4 or buddyAPI you have all th functions you need :
Filexists(filename) will return true or false, fileList(folder) will return
lits of files, etc....
