how to create a folder with Ruby

[jjs]

Hi,

it's been a while.
But does anybody knows how to create a folder?

To get to a folder is easy but to create one?

For example a user puts in a name, then i want to create a folder in the My Documents folder.

I tried something like this:
begin
Dir::mkdir(directory_name)
rescue
puts "the directory already exists"
end

but....
anyone ?

thanks a lot for your help

Code: Select all

directory_name = "name"
Dir.mkdir(directory_name) unless File.exists?(directory_name)

Thanks Tronic !
I will give that a try.
