| Dir.Create | Part of Dir module |
| Syntax | Dir.Create (directoryPathName : string)
|
| Description | Dir.Create is used to create the directory specified by the parameter directoryPathName. This is the equivalent of doing a mkdir in DOS or UNIX. On the Macintosh, it creates a folder.
|
| Details | If the Dir.Create call fails, then Error.Last will return a non-zero value indicating the reason for the failure. Error.LastMsg will return a string which contains the textual version of the error.
|
| Example | This program creates the directory called information.
Dir.Create ("information")
if Error.Last = eNoError then
put "Directory created"
else
put "Did not create the directory."
put "Error: ", Error.LastMsg
end if
|
| Example | An example demonstrating the use of several of the Dir subprograms
is available. In this example, a directory is created, a file is written
to the directory, an attempt is made to delete the directory, the file is
deleted, and then the directory is deleted. This example demonstrates the use of Dir.Change, Dir.Current, Dir.Create, and Dir.Delete.
|
| Status | Exported qualified. This means that you can only call the function by calling Dir.Create, not by calling Create.
