create a folder

[gdah]

hi..

I want to create a new folder and and save a file in that folder. My problem is when i stop and run back the vi, it will create a new folder in the existing folder. i want to make when there is an existing folder, my program will save file in the existing folder without making a new folder inside the existing. please help me...

thanks..

Hi gdah,
i can´t open your vi at the moment. Check first if the folder already exists and create the new one only if not.

Hope it helps.

Hi gdah,

you can also use the "exists" output of the File Dialog to check if the user selected an existing folder or not! I think you get only problems if you press the wrong button in the dialog. if you press "save" then it could be that you create a new folder and if you press select folder then the folder definitivly exists.

Hope it helps.
