[Swift-devel] code to test for file existence in swift

[Mike Kubal]

I was running a job that did not finish due to my grid-proxy expiring (I should have set it longer in the first place) that iterates through 670 input files. I wanted to add some code to my swift script that would check to see if the corresponding output file existed so as not to resubmit when iterating through the input files.

if(results_file exist){ print("done already")}
else{run job(input_file)}

In principle, no such facilities exist (or should exist) in swift.
