Checking if a file exists without knowing the extension?

[MGC]

You should use the Dir.glob method that returns a list of found files depending on a certain pattern.

If you really don't know the extension :

Code:

if Dir.glob("Audio/SE/" + setting + ".*").length > 0
  # Something happens
end

or with a list of extensions names :
define a constant :

Code:

AUDIO_EXT = ".{ogg,wav,mp3,mid,wma}"

then just use :

Code:

if Dir.glob("Audio/SE/" + setting + AUDIO_EXT).length > 0
  # Something happens
end
