How would I create and delete Directories from within vvvv?
thanks,
Eno.
or how would the sell exec line be?
shellexecute for some reason does not execute the built-in DOS commands like mkdir. it just executes commands physically existing as .exe, .com or .bat files. so you need to create a batch file which calls the built in command and takes the directory as a parameter:
so for now you need to create a file e.g. makedirectory.bat containing somethink like
mkdir %1
then you can shellexectute that file with the directory as a parameter.

i can imagine there is some easier way to explicitely call a command interpreter with any built in command as a parameter but i had not yet the time to find that out…
ja.
in ShellExecutes first input you set the path to command.com like e.g.:
C:\Windows\System32\command.com
then as command line arguments you give it something like:
/c mkdir c:\test
where /c instructs command.com to execute the built-in DOS commands.
/c mkdir c:\test
works for me.
but since you know im a windows bum - how do i include directories with spaces in the path? i tried double quotes and smartquotes …

and, can i create directories not being all capital letters?
got me. i know direct sollution to this. oschatzs method should offer all features.
usually " quotes would mark paths with spaces. but with command.com they seem not to be allowed. and why it makes all pathes in captials i have no idea either.
