Check files exist

[David McFarlane]

Dand,

Well, there is always the FileDirs() and FileExists() functions, 
which you can read about in the E-Basic Help, although that would 
take a bit of coding.  Then again, Experiment Advisor in the latest 
EP2 (2.0.10.242) contains a module for "Varying Filename not found" 
(http://www.pstnet.com/support/kb.asp?TopicID=4982 ), but I don't 
know how well that works -- perhaps you could try that and report back.

Finally, the latest EP2 also includes a "test run" facility for 
speeding up the run (up to a factor of 4) and providing automatic 
keyboard responses, so with all that it might not be too burdensome 
to just do a test run and see whether you get any run-time 
problems.  Best to run all Lists in Sequential order for this, so you 
can follow the progress and see where it was in each List when it 
crashes.  Good luck.

Stock reminder:  1) I do not work for PST.  2) PST's trained staff 
take any and all questions at 
http://support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp , and they 
strive to respond to all requests in 24-48 hours -- this is pretty 
much their substitute for proper documentation, so make full use of 
it.  3) In addition, PST takes questions at their Facebook page 
(http://www.facebook.com/pages/Psychology-Software-Tools-Inc/241802160683 
), and offers several instructional videos there and on their YouTube 
channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/PSTNET ) (no Twitter feed yet, 
though).  4) If you do get an answer from PST staff, please extend 
the courtesy of posting their reply back here for the sake of others.
