The Origin 6.1 SR1 release notes state that exist(filename,n) will return the version number or date of a dll file depending on the argument 'n'. (According to the note 'n' should be 1-5.) I'm using SR2 and exist(%YAny.dll,n) just gives me the file size of Any.dll regardless of the value of n. Was this usage of the exist() function broken in SR2 or am I using it incorrectly myself?

Oops!
This is a case of a specification getting copied to a release note without a reality check. The actual work done was to make sure developers of OPK tools could check to see if a file exists (in which case the function returns the file size in kilobytes) or not (in which case the function returns -1). This is the only feature that has been implemented as of 6.1.
The part in the specification about version and date was moved to a new specification for a more general means of getting information about files. Look for this in a future version of Origin. |
