Subject: [ruby-talk:9377] fileExists function?

I'm looking for a fileExists function and coming up short at the moment. 

I tried this:

  if !File.stat('sample.txt').file?

... but the File.stat method raises an exception, skipping my if test. I
could trap the exception, but that seems a bit much.
