Hello,

I try to output some files from an ulp, in a specific folder. I can create

the desired path, but  "output" function don't create the folder.

I can use the "dlgDialog" function to create the folder, but I don't want

this aproach.

WELL, IT SEEMS THAT USERS THAT ASK HOW TO MOVE A COMPONENT FROM TOP LAYER TO

THE BOTTON GET ANSWER.

When someone puts a question with not-so-obvious solution, nobody try to

answer.

This can't be named "SUPPORT".

It's our first day back in the office after the Christmas break, and

we're in the process of answering the postings right now. So a question

from an other user got answered before yours - is that a reason to become

loud? What's wrong with answering simple questions first?

There is currently no direct function to create a new folder from

a ULP. What you can do at te moment is to use the system() function,

like in

  system("mkdir foldername");

We are planning to implement an mkdir() function in a future version.

Widows XP:

string filePath;

if (board) board(B) {filePath = filedir(B.name);}

filePath=filePath+"output";

string comanda="mkdir "+filePath;

system(comanda);

Will give me the following command to be sent to OS:

"mkdir D:/Documents/Proiecte/2009/temp/555/output"

witch... is wrong, since "\" should be used, not "/"

So,.. any other ideas?

PS: problem is not the mkdir() function (that does not exist), but the

"output()" function, that can't create path do the desired file.

Oh well, one of those "original sins" of Microsoft...

You can do

string a[];

strsplit(a, filePath, '/');

filePath = strjoin(a, '
');

Won't that pop up that dialog warning the user that a ULP is trying to

execute a system program?  That would get annoying really fast.

already annoying from the first apparition.

and IMHO, you can't put a SO in danger if you create a folder, so that user

to give the accept for this. (even if you create 1000 folders, I don't see a

major security problem)
