isfile

isfile(path) -> Bool

Returns true if path is a regular file, false otherwise.

Examples

Check if a path corresponds to a file:
```
julia> isfile("path/to/file.txt")
true
```
This example checks if the path "path/to/file.txt" corresponds to a regular file.
Verify if a file exists:
```
julia> isfile("nonexistent/file.txt")
false
```
It returns false if the specified file does not exist.
Use a variable to check file existence:
```
julia> path = "path/to/file.txt"
julia> isfile(path)
true
```
Here, the variable path holds the file path, and isfile is used to determine if it corresponds to a regular file.

Common mistake example:

julia> isfile("path/to/directory")
ERROR: IOError: isfile: path does not exist

In this example, the function throws an IOError because the specified path does not correspond to a file. Ensure that the path provided is a valid file path to avoid this error.
