simple: making directories

[jon_in_vermont]

Hello,

I need to process a list of usernames, create home directories, set permissons, etc. I'm a newbie and I'm stuck at creating the directories. Any ideas? Everything is working fine until the Run command - thanks in advance!

; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached

While 1

$line = FileReadLine($file)

If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop

$parse = StringInStr($line, "@")

; MsgBox(0, "char number:", $parse)

$realnum = $parse - 1

$name = StringLeft($line, $realnum)

;MsgBox(0,"name",$name)

;Run(@ComSpec & "/c " & " md \\geo\DATAVOL\geohome\$name")

Run(@ComSpec & "/c md \\geo\DATAVOL\geohome\$name")

Wend

Why not just use DirCreate.

Why not just use DirCreate.

Ahh...because I'm new - Thanks! That works..but, now I'm getting my variable name ($name) created instead of the variable. Must be another dopey new question, but I'll look on my own till an easy answer comes along.

Thanks again!

Try using $name instead of "$name", just a wild guess.

Edit

Or "\\geo\DATAVOL\geohome\" & $name instead of "\\geo\DATAVOL\geohome\$name"

That did it - I was removing the quotes, but not using &. Great - Thanks BigDod..... I may be back for more. I owe you a beverage.
