Create Folder 1

[shangrilla]

I want to check if a specific folder exists on the C:
If not I want to create that folder.

What commands do I have to use to do this.

******************

From Help DIRECTORY() to check for a drectory/folder:

DIRECTORY(cDirectoryName)

Returns true (.T.) if the specified directory is found on disk.

From Help MKDIR (Make Directory) how to create a diectory or folder:

SET DEFAULT TO HOME( ) && Restore Visual FoxPro directory
MKDIR mytstdir && Create a new directory
CHDIR mytstdir && Change to the new directory
= GETDIR( ) && Display the Select Directory dialog box
SET DEFAULT TO HOME( ) && Restore Visual FoxPro directory
RMDIR mytstdir && Remove the new directory
= GETDIR( ) && Display the Select Directory dialog box
