DirCreate : Network

[strate]

I'm trying to create a directory on our network but the code I want to use will not work.

INI file reads:
[Paths]
Serial Log File="H:\Packaging\Label Verification\Audit Tags"

$Serial_NUM_Log = IniRead("C:\Gatekeeper.INI", "Paths", "Serial Log File", "ERROR")
If FileExists($Serial_NUM_Log) = 0 Then
   $_DIR_ = DirCreate($Serial_NUM_Log)
   If $_DIR_ = 0 Then
      MsgBox(0, "", "Did Not Create Directory for Audit Tag Serial Numbers"&@CR&@CR&"Attempted Path: "&$Serial_NUM_Log)
      Exit
   EndIf
EndIf

This code will not work but the following does:

$Serial_NUM_Log = IniRead("C:\Gatekeeper.INI", "Paths", "Serial Log File", "ERROR")
$Serial_Path = StringSplit($Serial_NUM_Log, "\")

$D = DirCreate($Serial_Path[1] & "\" & $Serial_Path[2])
If $D = 0 Then
   $DD = $D
EndIf
$D = DirCreate($Serial_Path[1] & "\" & $Serial_Path[2] & "\" & $Serial_Path[3])
If $D = 0 Then
   $DD = $D
EndIf
$D = DirCreate($Serial_Path[1] & "\" & $Serial_Path[2] & "\" & $Serial_Path[3] & "\" & $Serial_Path[4])
If $D = 0 Then
   $DD = $D
EndIf
$D = DirCreate($Serial_Path[1] & "\" & $Serial_Path[2] & "\" & $Serial_Path[3] & "\" & $Serial_Path[4] & "\" & @YEAR)
If $D = 0 Then
   $DD = $D
EndIf
$D = DirCreate($Serial_Path[1] & "\" & $Serial_Path[2] & "\" & $Serial_Path[3] & "\" & $Serial_Path[4] & "\" & @YEAR & "\" & _DateMonthOfYear(@MON, 0))
If $D = 0 Then
   $DD = $D
EndIf
$D = DirCreate($Serial_Path[1] & "\" & $Serial_Path[2] & "\" & $Serial_Path[3] & "\" & $Serial_Path[4] & "\" & @YEAR & "\" & _DateMonthOfYear(@MON, 0) & "\" & @MDAY)
If $D = 0 Then
   $DD = $D
EndIf
If $DD = 0 Then
   MsgBox(0, "", "Did Not Create Directory for Audit Tag Serial Numbers")
   Exit
EndIf

The INI file is the same with both. Why is this? I would prefer to you the first one.

$Serial_Log_File

????

and

If FileExists($Serial_NUM_Log) = 0 Then

I use

If Not FileExists($Serial_NUM_Log) Then

Better??:

INI File

[Paths]
Serial Log File="H:\Packaging\Label Verification\Audit Tags"

Program:

$Serial_Log_File = IniRead("C:\Gatekeeper.INI", "Paths", "Serial Log File", "ERROR")

If Not FileExists($Serial_Log_File) Then
   $_DIR_ = DirCreate($Serial_Log_File)
   If $_DIR_ = 0 Then
      MsgBox(0, "", "Did Not Create Directory for Audit Tag Serial Numbers"&@CR&@CR&"Attempted Path: "&$Serial_Log_File)
      Exit
   EndIf
EndIf

Is that what you meant by "$Serial_Log_File ????"

Still no luck though.

[Valuater]

no, not eactly

but look at this too

$Serial_NUM_Log = IniRead("C:\Gatekeeper.INI", "Paths", "Serial Log File", "ERROR")
$Serial_Path = StringSplit($Serial_NUM_Log, "\")

this one works right??

What did you mean then I guess I'm not seeing it? The second works just fine. A new folder/file is created every day.

[Valuater]

wait... wait...

try and see if this will work... not sure of the H drive

DirGetSize("H:\Packaging\Label Verification\Audit Tags\")
If @error= 1 Then
    DirCreate("H:\Packaging\Label Verification\Audit Tags\")

EndIf

I'm not running the current version on this machine. DirGetSize isn't on it.

Thanks for trying I'm confused

[Valuater]

you cant download this???

AutoIt v3.1.1 released (7th Apr, 2005) (History)

[strate]

Would somebody be able to give me another method of getting the value of this "DirGetSize"? I would download the other version but I'm afraid that it would mess up other scripts we use.

[strate]

Is their a UDF from a previous version for this??
