How to detect error with al_create_fs_entry()? |

I was trying to get the filesize of a particular file by using al_create_fs_entry() and it insisted the filesize was zero. The only error checking I'd done was to make sure the ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY wasn't null. When I gave up to use the fseek(fp,0,SEEK_END) method, my error checking told me that the file couldn't be opened because it didn't exist (filename typo). How can this type of error be detected? [EDIT] Forgot cookies, darn it! [EDIT2] I just stumbled across al_fs_entry_exists(), sorry! I need to slow down. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

It's not an error, in principle, since you can use ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY to create files. The function you're looking for is probably al_fs_entry_exists. "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow."-Ecclesiastes 1:18 |

OK, thanks Siegelord!
