Due to an obscure but annoying issue with OSX 10.5 I need to be able to check for the existence of a file based on the case of its name before I can launch it from Livecode. The exists function isn¹t case sensitive and the only idea I¹ve been able to come up with to date is to use the files function, filter the results based on the filename and then compare the two filenames (having set the caseSensitive property to true). This seems a bit long winded and I was hoping for a simpler and quicker way.
The Mac isn't case-sensitive, and it won't let you duplicate names regardless of their case. I'm curious why you'd need to distinguish by that.
I can't think of any other way to compare case than what you've come up with though.
