Create new folder ?

Hi, how to create new folder n name it using request.form in web directory..??

if you already know how to create a folder using FileSystemObject, there should be no problem of creating one with the name coming from a request.form.

<%
dim filesys, newfolder, newfolderpath
newfolderpath = "c:\myfolder\" & request.form("element_name")
'or you can use:
'newfolderpath = server.mappath("/virtualdir/" & request.form("element_name"))
set filesys=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If Not filesys.FolderExists(newfolderpath) Then
Set newfolder = filesys.CreateFolder(newfolderpath)
Response.Write("A new folder has been created at: " & newfolderpath)
End If
%>


and you may want to check first for valid folder names before creating it.

Yet again, I post a link to the best site on the internet (aside from javascriptkit.com, that is ;)):

:D

All of your FileSystemObject questions should be easily figured out there, just go through the examples. Thanks to my study there I have saved myself countless hours of time by writing FSO scripts in VBScript (using it locally in conjunction with ODBC data sources to connect with a network database) or ASP/VBScript to do what I want.

And I get to write another one tomorrow. Yay! :)
