Create folder using variable as name

[Tigerweld]

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?

what exactly...are you asking?

$computername cant be in the quotes:

if not fileexists("y:\rips\" & $computername) then
    dircreate("y:\" & $computername)
endif

[The Kandie Man]

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?
