I know mkdir is the command I need to make a new directory, however I’m not sure how I specify where it is created. For example I’d like to make:

“This Folder”

in

“Macintosh HD/users/me/that folder”

I’ve tried using jcom.folder too but what I’m looking to do is create AND delete a directory using Max for temporary storage of downloaded resources. If there is a technique that’s Windows friendly too, that’d be peachy.

Thanks, I appreciate any advice!

I did a small class that, a.o., deletes files and empty folders; check http://cycling74.com/toolbox/mxj-filesys-v0-2-3/

The Java source is included, adding a mkdir feature shouldn’t be very difficult. I may even do it myself one day…

That’s what had been giving me grief!

@Patrick Delges: I’ve got your Java solution downloaded for potential future reference i.e. when I actually decide to get into Java! For now I think I should be able to use [DOSHack] as a Windows alternative to [shell]?

Thanks again for your tips!

Right now [shell] is working just fine as I can name the directories based on a username (whoami–>shell–>sprintf mkdir etc.) and rmdir -r means a user can also clear temporarily downloaded files (what a savage command!)

Thanks to Dan also for the slick standalones presentation notes. I knew most of the tips but the .json viewer really speeds things up!

Untested under Windows, but I suppose it should work too…

to move to the recycle bin, I suppose you could just use mv myfile /aPathTo/theRecycleBin (sorry, I don’t know the path the Win’s bin).
