`$('[name=myfilenmae]').val() || 'empty'` – Arun P Johny Dec 19 '14 at 03:38

`''` is an empty string. If you want to check for that and convert it to `'empty'` for some reason, you can always use an `if` statement. (`($('[name=myfilename]').val() || 'empty')` is shorter here, I guess.) – Ry- Dec 19 '14 at 03:38

No, you cannot preset (or dynamically set) the value of a file field. Allowing that would raise a huge security risk, as explained in this answer.
