I know how to read/write files using iostram, but I can't figure out how to create a directory. Say I wan't to create a directory called "/home/work/outfiles", how do I do that? I'm running red hat linux. Rgs, Patrik Back to top Sharad Kala Guest Posted: Tue Jun 29, 2004 2:24 pm    Post subject: Re: creating directories...?

There may be a better way too, included as part of the API. Back to top Victor Bazarov Guest Posted: Tue Jun 29, 2004 3:47 pm    Post subject: Re: creating directories...?

I'm running red hat linux. There is no OS-independent way because not all OSes have directories. You should consult your OS programming manual (or book). In most cases a simple system("mkdir /home/work/outfiles"); should do it, but what specifically to put in double quotes and what the effect of that is going to be, is OS-specific.
