How do I create a directory using Harbor language?

First of all, I do not recommend creating temporary things in the program folder. The OS usually already has a setting of temp for this.

The function to create a directory is

hb_DirCreate( 'temp' )

Example:

IF hb_DirCreate( cDir ) == 0
   ? "Diretório criado com sucesso"
ENDIF

That is equivalent to the old MakeDir of Clipper. Of curiosity, when the HB_COMPAT_C53 flag is active when building Harbor, it activates this line:

HB_FUNC_TRANSLATE( MAKEDIR, HB_DIRCREATE )

This is in src/rtl/dirdrive.c

If you want a more complex path (recursive creation):

hb_DirBuild( 'caminho/composto')

On observing the temporary location, think that the application is often installed in a location, such as an SSD, and temporary in a normal HD to avoid premature wear, or even in a RamDisk for faster execution speed. It would be good to respect the preferences of the system administrator.

To get the location of temp system:

cLocal := hb_DirTemp()

And also has hb_FTempCreate , which already takes care of all this I mentioned and creates the temporary file, and is abstracted by

TempFile([<cDirectory>], [<cExtension>], [<nFileAttr>])

The documentation is at link , but is in a general reorganization process, a little confusing for leave permalinks right now

Using the MakeDir() function. So just do it:

MakeDir("caminho desejado").

Remembering that Harbor is case-insentive and in thesis you can write the name of the function however you want. It returns 0 if the creation occurred ok, or the number of the error returned by the operating system. Harbor does not use exceptions to report errors , to have a mechanism for this. The FError() function can be used as an aid.

The function is compatible with Clipper. There are some function aliases.

One way is to use MAKEDIR

MAKEDIR("temp")
