Forums Bug Reports $isfile() for files that end with \

$isfile(<existing file> $+ \) returns $true

Example:
Typing //echo -s $isfile($mircexe $+ \)
echoes $true

Just curious here.... When is this a problem?

when you want to $isfile a user given input which might end with \ by accident?

it's a bug indeed

//echo $isfile($mircexe $+ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\////////////////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\)

Response: $True

The way $isfile works it treating still as a File path then a Folder path…

I think all slashes and/or backslashes at the end of the filename are stripped before the actual check is performed.

Also, slashes and backslashes are treated exactly the same:
$isfile(c:\program files/mirc\mirc.exe/) returns $true (yes, I installed mirc there : )

It’s obvious now since I mentioned it, otherwise you would have been more specific in your first post.
