Creating a Directory in Windows

[speltrain]

Is there a simple way to create a directory using Visual Basic? I simply want to create the directory c:\Batch Files\.

mkdir "C:\batch files

Be sure to test that it's not already there first...

Error trapping or Dir() being the easier methods...

You could also use this, it allows you to make as long a directory poath as you like.

Private Declare Function SHCreateDirectoryEx Lib "shell32" Alias _
    "SHCreateDirectoryExA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal pszPath As String, _
    ByVal psa As Any) As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
    'KPD-Team 2000
    'URL: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.allapi.net/[/URL]
    'E-Mail: KPDTeam@allapi.net
    'create the directory 'c:\test\dir\hello\something\apiguide\'
    SHCreateDirectoryEx Me.hwnd, "c:\test\dir\hello\something\apiguide\", _
        ByVal 0&
End Sub

Hope this helps!!!

What would an example of using the Dir() function look like?

if dir("c:\My Test Folder",vbdirectory)<>"" then msgbox "folder exists
