Checking if a folder exists
I am looking for a good way of checking whether a folder exists from within a Julia script. For now what I am doing is:
function dir_exists(dir)
exists = true
try
readdir(dir)
catch err
exists = false
end
exists
end
but I was wonder if there's a way that doesn't rely on exception handling.
