HI.
Zack Jones said he wanted some code a boot'n through this
echo so here's something you might (or might not) want to
clip... I made this programme (took only a half hour or
so) when noticing that QB's Mkdir command only supported
one extra directory at a time, and I wanted to add a chain
of directorys.... anyways here it goes.
===\ clip here /===
DECLARE SUB md (drive$, directory$)
SUB md (drive$, directory$)
IF drive$ = "" THEN drive$ = "C:"
a = INSTR(1, directory$, "\")
b = INSTR(a + 1, directory$, "\") - (a + 1)
WHILE INSTR(a + 1, directory$, "\") <> 0
direct$ = MID$(directory$, a + 1, b)
SHELL "MD " + drive$ + LEFT$(directory$, a) + direct$
a = INSTR(a + 1, directory$, "\")
b = INSTR(a + 1, directory$, "\") - (a + 1)
WEND
direct$ = MID$(directory$, a + 1, LEN(directory$) - a)
SHELL "MD " + drive$ + LEFT$(directory$, a) + direct$
END SUB
===/ End of clip \===
An example of usage might be "call md ("C:",
"\BACKUP\EXTRA\SPARE\GAME")" when only "C:\backup" exists...
Well? It's short but sweet.... personnally I use the same
thing but I've added MKDIR instead of "SHELL" but in order
to do so you must have some worthy error handling... that
there works just fine. Have a blast.
