Create Directory Using IDE

How can I check if a directory exists, and if not, then create the directory using the IDE?

I’m currently using the script from Topic 411, but I want an hourly file put into a daily folder. The file writing portion requires that the path already exist though.

I have modified the script below, to include the new pathname, but it throws the error:

uact-Export block descriptor writing failed (invalid filename)

Hello,

I will review this code and work to find a solution for you. I will follow up with you tomorrow with an update.

In the meantime, please let me know if I can provide any updates that you recieve on your end.

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks, Kevin. Any word?

While we’re on it. Is there a command to reinitialize the SD card, so that it doesn’t require a Power Cycle when one is inserted?

Hello Justin,

Unfortunately, you cannot create a directory strictly using BASIC. YOu can FTP to the device, and create a new directory that way.

As for the power cycle, inserting and removing the SD card must be performed when the power is off. As this prevents furthere issues down the road.

Ok. That may just do. Thank you.
