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.

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?

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

You can do

string a[];

strsplit(a, filePath, '/');

filePath = strjoin(a, '
');
