Testing path existence using UNC format
Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2020 07:05 AM

Hi,
Can somebody confirm whether lIsDir() or IsDirectory() can accept path in UNC format or not?

My test seems to show that they can't.

TIA

Both accept UNC path.

When we use IisDir(), trailing slash is optional.
For ISDIRECTORY(), trailing slash should be removed.

I am answering this after testing once again now.

Thank you for your quick response Rao.

I'll retest again. I'm using the UNC that points to a NAS, \basstation

I wonder whether read/write access could affect the result.
