This is a short LSL script snippet which will work in Opensimulator. The script checks a to see if a notecard name exists. Can be useful in many situations, especially if a notecard must be written before the rest of the script can processes.<br>
If you prefer to download the file it is available along with others on my [https://github.com/manwapastorelli/OpenSimLSL GitHub Page]. This is a useful script to have in your LSL preprocessor folder.
=== Using The Script ===
The functionality for this script is contained in the method (sometimes known as a user-defined function or UDF) at the top. Everything inside state_entry is there purely to demonstrate how the function might be used.

This is not a full script, as such i have not added the whole thing, it is intended to be used as a method in the middle
of another script. If you need to be sure that a notecard has been written before allowing the rest of your script to run
just call this method.
Caveat!! Calling this method on a notecard which will never exist will leave the script in an never ending loop.
