It's me again Margret, the noob. I've spent 30 minutes on trying to figure this out and I know it's gotta be simple. I've searched the forums for one like it and cannot come up with anything. What I need to do is create a folder using the varible name.
DriveMapAdd ("y:", "\\DG8BRR11\Deployment Server\rips")
$computername = regread("HKLM\SYSTEM\CONTROLSET001\CONTROL\COMPUTERNAME\COMPUTERNAME" , "COMPUTERNAME")
if not fileexists("y:\rips\$computername") then
dircreate("y:\$computername")
endif
I know I don't have it right as it is actually creating a folder called $computername. What am I missing here?

Helpful tips:If you want better answers to your questions, take the time to reproduce your issue in a small "stand alone" example script whenever possible. Also, make sure you tell us 1) what you tried, 2) what you expected to happen, and 3) what happened instead.Useful links:BrettF's update to LxP's "How to AutoIt" pdfValuater's Autoit 1-2-3 Download page for the latest versions of Autoit and SciTE
<glyph> For example - if you came in here asking "how do I use a jackhammer" we might ask "why do you need to use a jackhammer"<glyph> If the answer to the latter question is "to knock my grandmother's head off to let out the evil spirits that gave her cancer", then maybe the problem is actually unrelated to jackhammers

DriveMapAdd ("y:", "\\DG8BRR11\Deployment Server\rips") If Not fileexists("y:\rips\" & @ComputerName) then DirCreate("y:\" & @ComputerName) EndIf
That is correct syntax. Maybe that is what you are looking for?
