How to write programt to create folder?

If I want to create forder "3" like this c:\3\
How to write program to do that?

There are a few different ways, I think i remember a function in a windows header somewhere that did it (CreateDir or something I think) but you could always use

Code:

---

#include <stdlib.h>
..
system("mkdir foldername");

---

(if mkdir is the right command for making a folder in windows, I forget).

PS: You would do better to search windows header files though anyway, I'd start at wincon.h, I think its in there.

I think there are standard routines also available for creating folders.

Try searching the documentation of your compiler.

No, but there are usually non-standard compiler libraries that do this. However, it appears that you're using Windows, so you can turn to the Win32 API with the CreateDirectory function:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
  std::string folder_name;

  std::cout<<"Enter a folder name to create: ";
  std::getline ( std::cin, folder_name );

  if ( CreateDirectory ( folder_name.c_str(), NULL ) != 0 )
    std::cout<<"Folder created successfully"<<std::endl;
}
