I am trying to use the following statement utilizing a filelist, it only works if there is only one file listed in the filelist. This is a check before I send an email containing attachments from this filelist. Is there a way to make this check work on all files in the list?{FileExists({TextFile({cFileList})})}

I should have mentioned I am using an "If Then" statement and a Boolean for a an if value is "True".

You can create the list of existing files by "Search for Files" action.
Next you can specify as attachment the following expression:
{TextFile(file_name)}
where file_name is the full name of created text file.

I've done that, but I am trying to do an IF THEN boolean check against the filelist, before sending the email. Like the following IF {FileExists({TextFile({cFileList})})} = True THEN ....run actionsProblem is that the FileExists function won't run against a filelist

Regarding to {FileExists()} variable
You should use only file name as parameter, like this:
{FileExists(C:\temp\file.tmp)}
or variable which contains single file name
{FileExists({MyFile})}
you can't use the list of filenames. If you have the list you should process it in the text loop

Regarding to your task:
I think that you don't need to uese {FileExists()} variable. See the example below:
