1. how find if/where a file is
Can anyone suggest how I might go about programmatically finding if a file
is present and if so where it is? It should (almost certainly) be under
Euphoria, and I have an example which showed me:
-- FIND WHERE EUPHORIA STUFF IS ON DRIVE:
object EuDir -- EUDIR environment variable
EuDir = getenv("EUDIR")
but I don't know how to then search for all the subdirectories for the file;
I thought I had seen something that might relate, more than one reference to
a "dirwalk" here, but I searched the archives and manuals & couldn't find
it.

Hi Dan,
There is a command called "walk_dir" which you can check up on in
library.doc.
It has an option to recursively walk through all files/directories given a
starting directory.
Looks like it's what your after,

Dan,
The function you are looking for is "walk_dir()"

No wonder I couldn't find it when I looked for dir_walk!!

5. Re: how find if/where a file is
Jeeze!
It was right there under "file & device IO" where one might expect it,
instead of under "operating system" where I kept looking! Sigh. I shoulda
known I was doing something wrong when I didn't ever see "dir" there.
Thanks :)
