Checking file existence in Julia

Is there a simple way in Julia to check whether a file in the current working directory exists (something like test = os.path.isfile("foo.txt") in Python or inquire(file = "foo.txt", exist = test) in Fortran)?

Julia has the isfile() function to test for a regular file:

julia> isfile("foo.txt")
false

shell> touch foo.txt

julia> isfile("foo.txt")
true

As the documentation:

Returns true if path (the parameter) is a regular file, false otherwise.
