1) I'm well aware of the intrinsic inquire function which applies to a statement like:
inquire (file = "FileName.inp", exist=result)
But suppose I want to inquire about the existence of a Directory. Is there a counterpart statement for this? In some checking I've done, I haven't been able to find such.
2) Suppose we can find a way to determine the existence of some Directory. If for a statement like the above result = .true., then suppose we want to purge (delete) it from an earlier run (so it can be created anew). Is there a simple command to Remove this Directory?
In preliminary checking, I'm not sure I have seen a reliable command for this, especially one that isn't very dependent on the library one is using. FWIW, in my case, I'm using DFlib (not iFort).
In DOS, I could always do this very easily.
