script to create a folder on a network volume

Any script to create a new folder on a network volume available? I would appreciate any help.

Nothing in ScriptMaker can do this without help. Plug-ins may offer the functionality, or OS-level batch files or script languages.

Thanks for the reply Vaughan. I was looking at the "send dde execute" or "send message" script defintions and was wondering if one of these would work. I just don't know how to format either one of those to make this happen or if it is even possible with one of them?

Thanks.

RK,

a. Create a script (name it whatever you want.)

b. Add the "Send Message" step (its near the bottom of the list in v6.)

c. Choose the "Text" radio button and enter "cmd /c md c:MyDirectory" without the quotes into the field.

When you run the script it should create a directory (folder) called "MyDirectory" on the root of your c: drive.

To explain what's going on, the [cmd] launches the shell. The [/c] switch makes the window close when the script is finished. If you want the window to remain open (for troubleshooting) then leave the [/c] switch out. The [md] portion is the command to Make a Directory. And lastly, the [c:MyDirectory] portion is the path and folder that you want to create.

Hope this helps.

Hey thanks, I modified this and got it to create the folder on a network drive like I wanted. Thanks again.

Be careful with this if you are using it in a multi-user environment. If the user does not have full permissions on the volume, the script will fail with no error messages.
