create subfolder

[tejaphani]

Hai guys,

I am using LabVIEW 2012 sp1. So, in this how can i create subfolder to save an excel file generated using report generation blocks.

The excel file have to be stored in different folder according to the test operation.

Can anyone suggest me how can create subfolders during the execution of the VI.

regards,

PHANI

Hello tejaphani,

there is a Create Folder VI in the File IO/Advanced File Functions Palette.

Hope this is what you needed.

Let me just add that if you try to create a folder that is already there, you will get a duplicate path error (error code 10).  I just clear that error after trying to create a folder.

That's one of the reasons I use the Create Dir if Not Exist from OpenG under the File I/O package.  It can also make directories in directories, where the native function won't create a directroy, if the root of that doesn't exist.

Yes it does.  I do it all the time with the native function.

Just verified with 2014.  It created C:\temp\foo\bar\blah even though C:\temp\foo did not exist.

Oh sorry, thanks for the correction.  I must have been thinking of some other function, or maybe it didn't always work like this.  Tested in 2011 and it works there as well.

Just tried in 8.2.1 with success.  It does stick in my mind that this did not work at some point, just don't remember when the change happened.  8.0?
