Discussion

The FILE.DIR_CREATE_RECURSE() method creates a folder, creating as many subfolders as necessary. The function returns True (.T.) if it created the folder or if the folder already existed. The function returns False (.F.) if it was unable to create the folder. In the example below, the function was unable to create the "x:\databases" folder, because the "x" drive did not exist.

Example

? FILE.dir_create_recurse("c:\databases")
= .T.

' drive "x" doesn't exist:
? FILE.dir_create_recurse("x:\databases")
= .F.
