How to create a directory by lisp line?

I want to add a line to my lisp route which can create a file directory, e.g. "c:\temp\". Pleas help!

THX!

 

Do you have the DOS Lib .arx loaded? If so, you can
do:
(setq mydir "C:\\temp")
(dos_mkdir mydir)
doslib available from McNeal & Assoc.
Web search for 'DOSLIB' should get you there.

Found a link to doslib in another posting.

doslib http://www.mcneel.com/download.htm

in addition to Bob's suggestion, there is also:

(vl-mkdir "c:\\temp")

 

if you DONT have doslib you can...

(command "shell" "md C:\newDir")

Jaime

 

Vlisp also has the undocumented vl-mkdir function

(vl-mkdir "c:/temp")

Steve

 

(vl-mkdir "Directory name")

 

or using pure vlisp try: http://tinyurl.com/35242
