MkDir Statement

Description

Creates a new directory or folder.

Syntax

MkDir path

The path named argument is a string expression that identifies the directory or folder to be created — may include drive. If no drive is specified, MkDir creates the new directory or folder on the current drive.

Remarks

In Microsoft Windows, if you use MkDir to create a directory whose name contains an embedded space, you may be able to access it with some applications, but you can't remove it using standard operating system commands. To remove such a directory, use the RmDir statement.
