peter.cook	Posted - 10/22/2003 : 05:01:31 AM Hi, the exist function returns 8 for macros not 6 as stated in the help. This applies to all versions including 7.5. Please can you clarify/confirm what the exist(name) function returns? FYI : I'm using this to check if project specific macros are to be run in a generic (cross project) application. Cheers, pete

peter.cook	Posted - 10/22/2003 : 06:38:39 AM Hi CP, Thanks for reply. browsing through 0c_const.h I see #define EXIST_NONE 0 #define EXIST_DATA 1 #define EXIST_WKS 2 #define EXIST_PLOT 3 #define EXIST_VAR 4 #define EXIST_MATRIX 5 #define EXIST_TOOLBAR 7 #define EXIST_MACRO 8 #define EXIST_PLOT_3D 6 #define EXIST_NOTES 9 #define EXIST_ACTIVE 10 #define EXIST_LAYOUT 11 #define EXIST_EXTERN_WKS 12 #define EXIST_PAGE 13 all of which I think work with exist(name) even to 6.1 Cheers, Pete (so just a matter of updating help files)
cpyang	Posted - 10/22/2003 : 06:24:22 AM You are right, as can be seen in oc_const.h with Origin C by searching for EXIST_MACRO #define EXIST_MACRO 8 This was changed in 1995 from 6 to 8 and the documentation was not updated. CP
