How do I create a folder through BCB code? 2

[jvff]

Hello,
I want to create a folder through code. How can I do that? ThanQ, ;-)

JVFF (Janito Vaqueiro Ferreira Filho)

 

[hnd]

Syntax

#include <dir.h>
int mkdir(const char *path);
int _wmkdir(const wchar_t *path);

Description

Creates a directory.

mkdir is available on UNIX, though it then takes an additional parameter.

mkdir creates a new directory from the given path name path.

Return Value

mkdir returns the value 0 if the new directory was created.

A return value of -1 indicates an error, and the global variable errno is set to one of the following values:

EACCES Permission denied
ENOENT No such file or directory

BCB also has a whole slew of file management commands. Look at CreateDir.

void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)

{
  if (!DirectoryExists("c:\\temp"))
  {
    if (!CreateDir("C:\\temp"))
      throw Exception("Cannot create c:\\temp directory.");
  }

Another option is ForceDirectories. You can then put in an entier path, and all folders will be created on that path if they don't already exist.
