# Folder Exists ?

This wildcard is replaced by true or false, depending on whether the specified folder exists or not. The wildcard is used in the following way: 

* {folder.exists.?}
* For the following input (?) --> R:\Users\Administrator\Pictures
* The output is going to be --> bool True/False

{% hint style="info" %}
Ensure that the render node or server has access to file. If the wildcard is on a server-side stream, the streams container needs to have access to the file path. Boolean return.
{% endhint %}
