How do you check if a file exists in a LIB in load script on Qlik SAAS?

 

I have this QlikView and Qlik Sense Enterprise code that checks for a fieldmap file and remaps column names

Is there a way to check if a file exists in a lib on Qlik Sense SAAS? using either the datafile lib or an Amazon S3 lib?

 call vL.FileExist ('$(vG.ImportPath)\fieldmap-$(vL.TrimmedDocName).csv'); //Validate if cache exist
if vL.FileExist='true' then
// Remap the fields with descriptive names
[FieldMap$(vL.TrimmedDocName)]:
MAPPING LOAD
ExistingFieldName,
UserFriendlyFieldName
FROM
[$(vG.ImportPath)\fieldmap-$(vL.TrimmedDocName).csv]
(txt, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', msq)
WHERE len(UserFriendlyFieldName)>0;
RENAME FIELDS USING [FieldMap$(vL.TrimmedDocName)];
endif

Hi @aritting 

You can try with the filezise() function

Where you can replace the vPath variable with the data connection and vFile with the file inside the data connection

LET vPath ='lib://Dropbox/Files/';
LET vFileName ='Crostable.xlsx';

If FileSize('$(vPath)$(vFileName)') THEN

TRACE File exists $(vPath)$(vFileName);

Table:
LOAD
    Salesman,
    "Year",
    Jan,
    Feb,
    Mar,
    Apr,
    May,
    Jun
FROM [$(vPath)$(vFileName)]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

Else

TRACE File does not exist $(vPath)$(vFileName);

End If

Does this work in Qlik Cloud?  So far in my testing the answer is no.
