Forums Scripts & Popups $iif and $exists/$isfile

Hi.

Here's what I've been trying to do..
I want to get a popup menu which will show up only those programs which actually exist on the harddrive, for example:

.Programs
.. $iif($exists(C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe), Internet Explorer:/run C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe)
..MS Word:/run C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe

This syntax is ofcourse flawed and it returns '* Invalid format: $iif' so my question is how to achieve something like that, which, well, works ?

Thanks for your help, and I apologize if something like this has been already discussed.

The problem you have is the colon. It's trying to parse using the colon to separate the title from the command.

Other than using $chr(58), you could also just put the path into a variable and use the variable.

Sorry for the slow response, been occupied with university.
Thanks for your tips.

Here's what I used and what works:

..Internet Browsers
... $iif($exists(C $+ $chr(58) $+ \Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe) == $true , Internet Explorer):/run C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
... $iif($exists(C $+ $chr(58) $+ \Program Files\Avant Browser\avant.exe), Avant Browser):/run C:\Program Files\Avant Browser\avant.exe
... $iif($exists(C $+ $chr(58) $+ \Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe), Firefox):/run C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
