Web developers notes,programming tutorials.

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.
