DIRMAKE()
Create a directory
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
DIRMAKE(<cNewDir>) --> nSuccess
Arguments
<cNewDir> is the name of the directory to be created, including an
optional drive. If you do not specify a drive, the current one is used.
Returns
DIRMAKE() returns 0 if successful; -1 if there is an argument error.
Otherwise, DIRMAKE() returns the DOS error code.
Description
DIRMAKE() creates a specified directory. Note that first you must have
sufficient rights to create a directory. To create nested
subdirectories, you must create each subdirectory separately, starting
from the top-level directory that you want to create (see example
below.)
Examples
. This example assumes that C:\TEST exists and uses DIRMAKE()
twice to create a nested subdirectory under it:
DIRMAKE("c:\test\one") // Create top-most one
nResult := DIRMAKE("c:\test\one\two")
IF nResult != 0
? "Cannot make directory, DOS error ", nResult
BREAK
ENDIF
You may also use something like this:
DIRMAKE( ".\test" )
Files Library is EXTEND.LIB.
