    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <process.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    void main()
    {
    char path[1024], *MakeDir;
    
    cout<<"\nWhat folder do you wish to check/create?\n";
    cin >> path;
    
    int length1 = strlen("mkdir ");
    int length2 = strlen(path);
    MakeDir = new char [length1 + length2 + 1];
    strcpy(MakeDir, "mkdir ");
    strcat(MakeDir, path);
    
    system(MakeDir);
    
    if(!MakeDir)
    {
        printf("This folder exists.");
    }
    else
    {
        printf("There was no directory. A directory has been created.");
    }
    getch();
    }

    That one messes up a bit, here, use this one instead :
    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <process.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    void main()
    {
    char path[1024], *MakeDir;
    
    cout<<"\nWhat folder do you wish to check/create?\n";
    cin >> path;
    
    int length1 = strlen("mkdir ");
    int length2 = strlen(path);
    MakeDir = new char [length1 + length2 + 1];
    strcpy(MakeDir, "mkdir ");
    strcat(MakeDir, path);
    
    system(MakeDir);
    
    if(!MakeDir)
    {
        //Let DOS handle it
    }
    else
    {
        printf("There was no directory. A directory has been created.");
    }
    getch();
    }

    You think he hasn't look at it yet?

    You coded a program, not a script.

    A script is what you give the actors, a program is what you give the audience.

    Sorry..

    Sorry about thank u late. I really appreciate your program.

    I am a beginninger of c++ programming. I expect your further help.

    Thanks a lot.

    Oh, If I want to check a open a file under a directory on the VC platform, the following statement is correct or not?

    fstream file("temp\aa.dat", ios:ut | ios::binary);
