Introduction

The JITL FileExistsJob job checks if one or more files or a directory exist. The job belongs to the category of JS7 - JITL File Operation Jobs.
The JITL File Operation Jobs support commonly used operations such as copy, rename, move, delete and check for the existence of files. Any file operations are implemented with Java and are available for any OS platforms supported by JS7 Agents. In comparison with operating system commands like copy, cp, move, mv, del and rm, that behave differently on different operating systems, the handling and behavior of File Operation Jobs is identical for all supported operating systems.
Most File Operation Jobs support "regular expressions" to allow filtering of matching file names.
File Operation Jobs are frequently used in workflows to check for the existence of files, to rename and copy/move files to different locations.
