Check if file or directory exists in Golang

check.go

if _, err := os.Stat("/path/to/whatever"); os.IsNotExist(err) {
	// path/to/whatever does not exist
}

if _, err := os.Stat("/path/to/whatever"); !os.IsNotExist(err) {
	// path/to/whatever exists
}

what about if need to check for "*.txt" in Linux dir if the file exists or not, I tried *.txt but it's not working at all

if _, err := os.Stat("*.txt"); err == nil {
fmt.Printf("File exists\n");
} else {
fmt.Printf("File does not exist\n");
}
