Re: foldering in c++

U can use system() function to create folder.
System function is used to execute dos commands from a program in Turbo C
e.g.
system("md MyFolder");
it will create a folder is the current working directory

Hi All,

This is a working code. The library tobe included is dos.h. Please use turboC compiler. The operation system used is windows only.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<dos.h>
int main()
{
system("mkdir Myfolder");
}

Re: foldering in c++

operating systern is windows XP.
That will surely work in DOS also.

Added after 8 minutes:

It will work in linux also. Here the library to be included in stdlib.h

#include<stdlib.h>
int main()
{
system("mkdir Myfolder");
}

its working

a good thing that when u give space between some name it will create another folder with the name after space i.e. it takes space as end of folder name and start of new one.

also it is generating folder at any specified path

like

system("mkdir c:\\newfolder")

Re: foldering in c++

Here is the example which works indpendent of platform


mkdir : Creates a directory.

Syntax:
int mkdir(const char *path);

Prototype in:
dir.h

Remarks:
mkdir creates a new directory from the given
path name path.

Return Value:
mkdir returns the value 0 if the new directory
was created.

On error, a value of -1 is returned, and the
global variable errno is set to one of the
following values:

Setting Description
EACCES Permission denied
ENOENT No such file or directory

Portability:
mkdir is available on UNIX System V, though it
takes an additional file-mode parameter.

Example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <process.h>
#include <dir.h>

int main(void)
{
int status;

clrscr();
status = mkdir("asdfjklm");
(!status) ? (printf("Directory created\n")) :
(printf("Unable to create directory\n"));

getch();
return 0;
}
