create directory hierarchy
-
Hi I want to create directory in hierarcy. For example I want to create c:\Test\Temp directory. Both test and temp directory do not exist. Thanks
The Boost libraries have a create_directories () function that does precisely this. See http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/boost/filesystem/convenience.hpp[^]

I bet what he's looking for is an obscure function called something like
::DoMySpecialThingRightNow()instead of an intuitive name like::CreateDirectory().... I mean, who would ever think of that... :rolleyes:"It's supposed to be hard, otherwise anybody could do it!" - selfquote
"High speed never compensates for wrong direction!" - unknownWell
CreateDirectoryis useless. He actually needsCreateDirectoryHierarchy... :-DIf the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.
This is going on my arrogant assumptions. You may have a superb reason why I'm completely wrong. -- Iain Clarke

There's a lot of hard ways to do it... I prefer simple:
::SHCreateDirectory(NULL, L"c:\\Test\\Temp");

Hi, I used 'SHCreateDirectory' but got 'SHCreateDirectory': undeclared identifier. CreateDirectory API does not suite to my requirement becuase it creates directory only if parent directory exist. I got MakeSureDirectoryPathExists API which fulfil my requirements. Thanks for your help.

Please find the code below Using System.IO; //for creating the directory Directory.CreateDirectory("c:\\Test"); Directory.CreateDirectory("c:\\Test\\Temp");
Cheers!! Brij
