Can this snippet be used as a solution? 🤔
"Test script if folder exists"
$path = Read-Host -Prompt 'Please enter a path '
if (Test-Path $path) {
"Path exists!"
} else {
"Path doesn't exist."
}

That would indeed be a solution. Works in Windows PowerShell too. I'd rewrite this slightly for the blog:
$Folder = 'C:\Windows'
"Test to see if folder [$Folder] exists"
if (Test-Path -Path $Folder) {
"Path exists!"
} else {
"Path doesn't exist."
}All you have to do now is to write the article?
