    Hi Everyone,

    I've found all kinds of file handling functions in the vlisp documentation
    but I don't see any directory handling functions
    Is it possible to check for and/or create a directory from lisp? Can anyone
    provide a sample of how this is done if it is possible?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks very much Steve.

    I thought I had seen a way to handle dirs in the Acad2000 docs.

    Would it be (vl-chkdir "YourFolderPath") to see if it already exists?

    Gary,

    Use (filefind), example below

    (if
    (not (findfile "YourFolderPath"))
    (vl-mkdir "YourFolderPath")
    (alert "Folder exists")
    )

    That should be use (findfile)...

    Steve,

    Thanks again.

    I'm familiar with findfile but never thought of using it to find a
    directory.
    Probably because I've never created a directory with lisp:)

    You could use vl-file-directory-p
