is_directory

Scripts > Class elements and c++ instructions > File handling > is_directory

Prototype

bool is_directory(const str& xsPath);

Description

Returns true, if the operating system reports the path represented by xsPath is a directory, else false.

Example:

if(is_directory(TargetName()))

  throw CTT_Error("not a correct target file");

Remark:

In contrast to the corresponding function in boost filesystem is_directory returns false for an empty string and does not produce an exception. Otherwise the above example would not run in the TETRA working space
