The MkDir (MD) command will create multiple folders in a path. If you want to create C:\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\Folder4,
MakeDir will create them all.
In VBScript, the CreateFolder method will only create one folder.
I have scripted MakeDir.vbs to emulate the MkDir command.
The syntax for using MakeDir.vbs is:
cscript //nologo MakeDir.vbs FolderPath
Where FolderPath is the Fully Qualified Folder Path, like "C:\Documents and Settings\Jerry\My Documents\My Home Owners Association\Public Records".
MakeDir.vbs contains:
dim objArguments, Obj
Set objArguments = Wscript.Arguments
If WScript.Arguments.Count = 0 then
Wscript.Echo "Syntax: cscript //nologo MakeDir.vbs FolderPath"
Wscript.Quit
End If
Obj = objArguments(0)
X = MakeDir(Obj)
Wscript.Quit
Function MakeDir (strPath)
Dim strParentPath, objFSO
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
On Error Resume Next
strParentPath = objFSO.GetParentFolderName(strPath)
If Not objFSO.FolderExists(strParentPath) Then MakeDir strParentPath
If Not objFSO.FolderExists(strPath) Then objFSO.CreateFolder strPath
On Error Goto 0
MakeDir = objFSO.FolderExists(strPath)
End Function
