I am fairly new to C/C++, but one alternative would be to check if you can open the file or not.
Sample code: int checkFile(char filename[]) { FILE* fp; // file pointer int retval; // return value fp=fopen(filname, "r"); // open file for reading if (fp) // check if file was opened successfully or not retval=1; else retval=0; return retval; // return 1 or 0 } Basically, if the file already exists, then you will be able to open it. If it doesn't exist, then opening will "fail". Hope this helps Cools Last edited by coolman0stress : April 20th, 2003 at 10:23 PM.

You could always try opening the file for reading and call the fail() method to check if it failed or not.
Code:
ifstream file;
file.open("filename.txt");
if (file.fail()) {
cerr << "file does not exist";
}
