MKDIR

The MKDIR statement creates a new folder (directory) at a specified path.

Syntax

MKDIR pathSpec$

Description

• The path specification (pathSpec$) is a literal or variable STRING expression that also specifies the new folder's name.
• If no path is given the directory will become a sub-directory of the present directory where the program is currently running.
• QB64 can use both long or short path and file names with spaces when required.
• The new folder will be created without a user prompt or verification.
• If a path is specified, the path must exist or a "Path not found" error will occur. See _DIREXISTS.
• SHELL can use the DOS command "MD " or "MKDIR " + path$ + newfolder$ to do the same thing.
