When using LoarDir() Is there any way to identify whether the content is a file or a folder?
Currently I use if it contains a "." but that doesnt always work (i.e. monkeygame.data folder)

Cheers

assuming monkey.os module:

If FileType( path$ ) = FILETYPE_NONE
   Print "no file or directory"
ElseIf FileType( path$ ) = FILETYPE_FILE
   Print "A file exists"
ElseIf FileType( path$ ) = FILETYPE_DIR
   Print "A folder exists"
Endif

Also is there any way to get the drives available (C:, D: etc, Mac Hdd etc)?
