Hello oh great and knowledgeable POV-Ray users...

(Er, yeah, ok, let's cut the grovelling and just ask!)

Is there a way to test weather a given file already exists? What I'd like to
do is something along the lines of

#if (file doesn't exist)
  create it!
#end

Any ideas?

Thanks.
Andrew.

Look into the manual for the "file_exists" function...

Unbelievable... I spent ages searching for this... How in god's name did I
not see this?

OK, time to go hide in a corner methinks... or under a rock perhaps!
