Does anyone know how to make a folder via Scripter on Windows? I'm trying to Process.execute with the commands md and mkdir but I'm getting the following error: "Failed to run external process: mkdir".

Command: C:/Windows/System32/cmd.exe
Arguments: /c "mkdir d:\folder"
mkdir runs from within the command prompt, you can't call it directly.
/C Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates
Edit: I misread, thought you was using Execute Command. However via scripting it's the same, call mkdir via cmd.exe.
Edit2: This will do: Process.execute("c:/Windows/System32/cmd.exe /c \"mkdir d:\\folder\"")

Woah, thanks for that. I there any way of doing this for Mac environments so you can get CLI behavior identical to the normal terminal within Scripter?

Not sure, I'm more a Windows guy. Since my Switch is on Windows too I can't really test to figure it out.

Doh! Here's a better way using the Switch Directory class:
Code: Select all
if(!thatDir.exists){
thisDir.mkdir(that);
}
