Folder Operations
There are also VB functions that allow you to rename, create and remove directories
(called folders in Win 95/98). These are:
|
Name
|
Description
|
|
MkDir
|
Creates a directory
|
|
RmDir
|
Removes a directory
|
|
Name
|
Renames a directory
|
To create a directory, you use the MkDir function:
MkDir DirNameandPath
So,
MkDir "C:\testdir"
creates the directory testdir (so long as it does not already exist)
To remove a directory, you use the RmDir function:
RmDir DirNameandPath
So,
RmDir "C:\testdir"
removes the directory testdir (so long as it is empty)
To rename a directory, you use the Name Function:
Name OldNameandPath As NewNameandPath
So,
Name "C:\testdir" As "C:\testdir2"
Renames testdir as testdir2.
If you want to know how to do these operations using Win API, which allows
you to send files to the recycle bin, and display the standard file copying
dialog, click here.
