CREATE FOLDER

version 6.0

CREATE FOLDER (folderPath)

The CREATE FOLDER command creates a folder according to the pathname you pass in folderPath.

If you pass a name, the folder is created in the folder of the database. If you pass a pathname, it must refer to a valid path up to the name of the folder you want to create, starting at the root level of a volume or at the level of the database folder.

1. The following example creates the "Archives" folder in the folder of the database:

      CREATE FOLDER("Archives")

2. The following example creates the Archives folder in the folder of the database, then it creates the "January" and "February" subfolders:

      CREATE FOLDER("Archives")
      CREATE FOLDER("Archives\\January")
      CREATE FOLDER("Archives\\February")

3. The following example creates the "Archives" folder at the root level of the C volume:

      CREATE FOLDER("C:\\Archives")

4. The following example will fail if there is no "NewStuff" folder at the root level of the C volume:

      CREATE FOLDER("C:\\NewStuff\\Pictures") ` WRONG, cannot create two folder levels in one call

FOLDER LIST, Test path name.
