something like this:
-- create an instance of fileio
pFileioObj = new(xtra "fileio")
openFile(pFileioObj, pathToExternalFile, 1)
-- (for that last parameter: 0 Read/Write, 1 Read, 2 Write)
errorCode = status(pFileioObj)
if errorCode <> 0 then
-- error code shows file has not opened correctly
if errorCode = -37 then
-- file not found. do what you gotta do.
end if
--bhakti
