ASP CreateFolder

We've seen the standard code to create a textfile. You can create a folder in a similar way, using the createfolder method of the filesystemobject:

Select All Code

<%
dim fso,foldername
set fso=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set foldername=fso.CreateFolder("c:\mynewfolder")
set foldername=nothing
set fs=nothing
%>

It's usually wise however to check whether the folder exists or not before calling this method, as attempting to create an existing folder will throw an error. Here's how we do that:

Select All Code

<%
dim fso
set fso=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if fso.FolderExists("c:\mynewfolder")=true then
  response.write("Folder already exists!")
else
 set foldername=fso.CreateFolder("c:\mynewfolder")
set foldername=nothing
 
end if
set fso=nothing
%>
