Checking if a file exists without knowing the extension?

[PK8]

Is there a way to check if a file exists without having to know the file extension?

I'm trying to check if a sound effect specified in a setting exists, but I really don't want to have to create a conditional like this: /lazy

Code:

if File.exist?('Audio/SE/'+setting+'.ogg') or File.exist?('Audio/SE/'+setting+'.wav') or File.exist?('Audio/SE/'+setting+'.mp3') or File.exist?('Audio/SE/'+setting+'.mid') or File.exist?('Audio/SE/'+setting+'.wma')
# Something happens
end

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
