Did you catch the part in the post to which you responded a minute
earlier where I used the phrase "the right tool for the job?"
Did you notice that the OP is trying to create a reference to a single
file that already exists? (And, in fact, the error result this function
would give him if the file _doesn't_ exists, obviates some additional
code.)
You can answer all the unasked questions you like your own code, but
sarcastic reactions to people answering the actual questions don't help
anyone, including you.
