How to check a directory is exist or not?

Please tell me how to check a directory is exist or not? If it not exist, then how to create?

Thanks.

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();
}

well i spend my time coding a great script for you that WORKS and u go and leave me without a simple "thank you"??? well im never helping u again :mad:

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. ;)

r u saying i did better or worse than a script? lol

u confuse me.

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::out | ios::binary);
