How to create a directory with vlisp?

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone, I've found all kinds of file handling functions in the vlisp documentation but I don't see any directory handling functions Is it possible to check for and/or create a directory from lisp? Can anyone provide a sample of how this is done if it is possible? Thanks in advance. Gary

Thanks very much Steve. I thought I had seen a way to handle dirs in the Acad2000 docs. Would it be (vl-chkdir "YourFolderPath") to see if it already exists? Gary

Gary, Use (filefind), example below (if (not (findfile "YourFolderPath")) (vl-mkdir "YourFolderPath") (alert "Folder exists") ) Steve "Gary McMaster" wrote in message news:3fe1ac32$1_6@statler... > Thanks very much Steve. > > I thought I had seen a way to handle dirs in the Acad2000 docs. > > Would it be (vl-chkdir "YourFolderPath") to see if it already exists? > > Gary > >

That should be use (findfile)...

Steve, Thanks again. I'm familiar with findfile but never thought of using it to find a directory. Probably because I've never created a directory with lisp:) Gary

You could use vl-file-directory-p -- -Jason Member of the Autodesk Discussion Forum Moderator Program "Gary McMaster" wrote in message news:3fe1ac32$1_6@statler... > Would it be (vl-chkdir "YourFolderPath") to see if it already exists?
