Make a File Directory
Hi,
I have looked around a bit and cannot seem to find out how to make a file directory to store a text file in.
For example, I have a text file (test.txt)
I want to create a directory, then store the file...
I can can create the file and save it, I just can't figure out how to use Ruby or any module to make a directory to store the file in
Maybe I've just been looking to long for the answer
Thanks, Aron

Re: Make a File Directory
Ruby is able to do this via it's Dir module, and it's also possible by using the "Shell Execute" primitive to send a Windows system command.
Here's a module that does it using Ruby, which I prefer because it's easier to define your own action if the folder creation fails. Note that the 'create_folder' routine calls itself recursively with each parent folder name in turn, so it will create all of the folders necessary for the complete path, however deeply they're nested...

All schematics/modules I post are free for all to use - but a credit is always polite!
Don't stagnate, mutate to create!

Re: Make a File Directory
Thanks TROG.
I've always used the PRIM FS modules for this deed.
But I got to say, it was one of the messier sections of the schematic [trying to keep connection path clean].
Seems it was always a challenge when transitioning out of FlowStone proper to the exported VST. But I did get
it working as needed. [what I needed was saving a TXT file into a dedicated FOLDER within an Audio Project Folder ... and have it Default to that [chosen] location.
I also used SPROG's technique of Saving parameters in a hidden PreSet Manager. Works nice.
Thanks again for the RUBY way !

Re: Make a File Directory
Very nice!!!
Thank you very much Trog
I figured there was something in Ruby... all my searches came back with using GEMS, which of course we can't really use easily
