{title:Description}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}{cmd:confirmdir} is designed for programmers who want to know if a directory exists.
|
|
This is just like {cmd:confirm} command when used to confirm a file. If Stata allowed their
|
|
{cmd:confirm} command to also have the "dir" option, this program would not have been
|
|
written. Stata's {cmd:confirm file} will confirm a directory in UNIX/Linux but not in Windows.
|
|
{cmd:confirmdir} works in all operating systems.{p_end}
