Help can't find way to detect a certain file name

In the following thread jsmorley posted a way to detect if a picture exists. You can use it for your purpose as well:

Does this help you?

I don't know how to use this I'm just new at this thing

I don't know how to use this I'm just new at this thing

Do the followings:

• Create the MyLua.lua file in the @Resources folder. Take care about its encoding. Set it to UTF-16 LE (a few details about encoding here).
• Open the previously added MyLua.lua file and paste the following code into it:

  Code: Select all

  function file_exists(name)
  	local f=io.open(name,"r")
  	if f~=nil then
  		io.close(f)
  		return 1
  	else
  		return 0
  	end
  end

  Save and close the file.
• Add the following variable to the [Variables] section of the skin: FileToCheck=D:\Program Files\Steam\crashhandlerhack.dll (obviously here you have to add the file which has to be checked if does exist).
• Add the following measure to the code which you posted above, in your initial post:

  Code: Select all

  [MeasureLuaScript]
  Measure=Script
  ScriptFile=#@#MyLua.lua
  Disabled=1

• You can find out if the file exists or not through the [&MeasureLuaScript:file_exists('#FileToCheck#')] section variable. See that here I used the previously added FileToCheck variable.
• Finally to modify what the [meterRightSide] meter does show, you need to add a Calc measure. Add the following one:

  Code: Select all

  [MeasureCheck]
  Measure=Calc
  Formula=[&MeasureLuaScript:file_exists('#FileToCheck#')]
  IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#>=1)
  IfTrueAction=[!SetOption meterRightSide Text "Text=On"][!UpdateMeter "meterRightSide"][!Redraw]
  IfFalseAction=[!SetOption meterRightSide Text "Text=Off"][!UpdateMeter "meterRightSide"][!Redraw]
  DynamicVariables=1

  The !SetOption bangs of the above IfTrueAction and IfFalseAction options set the appropriate Text option to the [meterRightSide] meter.

Please try the above described procedure. If any question arrises and you are not entirely sure what to do, please come back with a question.

Thank you both of you for helping me finish my skin
