How to create a new folder with C++ code

Question

Hi

I wonder, how can i create the folder c:\ZigBeeLogs\ if it don't exists yet, with a c++ code? I guess this task may  be like "piece of cake" for an experienced programmer.

Answer 1

MSDN is your friend. In future similar cases, try searching for "create directory".

_tmkdir(_T("c:\\ZigBeeLogs");

Answer 2

Of course, you also have the option of using the Windows API: CreateDirectory() or CreateDirectoryEx().

Thanks. It worked. I was searching for "create folder" at the MSDN library, and of course i should have searched "create directory", so for that reason I couldn't find it:-)

 

Thanks anyway.

In addition to Bancila's comment, Create Directory will only create the directory specified at the end of the path specified. If any of the intermediate directories not existing, the API will fail.

 

You can use or SHCreateDirectory or SHCreateDirectoryEx API to create Intermediate directories if they're not existing. This is documented in MSDN.
