How do I create a folder in VB if it doesn't exist?
(12 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I need to know how i can check if the folder exist, and if it does not exist, create it
For Example:
If File.Exists(File Path) Then
Else
'Create a new folder following the path(Path here)
End If
And Thanks for your help.
You might want to consider using this class in order to determine if the folder exists: .Net Directory Class, as well as .Net File Class in order to find the functionality you need. Both of them offers an "Exists" function and a "Create" function.
If you have the case where multiple folders in the path don't exist (which you might want to consider checking for), you would need to include a loop to iterative create every folder in the path until you've reached your destination.

Markdown and including multiple files
(20 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I'm new to Stack Overflow.
I write a lot. So I created different .md files in different directories.
Now I wanna create a notebook(it doesn't matter in .pdf format or another .md) from all the md files but I have some problems:
It will be messy I guess
I don't know how to do so
I wanted to know if there is a way to do it in a tidy way :)
I see your post is tagged for r-markdown, so I am going to show you how to do it the r-markdown way.
You can create an index.Rmd file (this doesn't have to be named index.rmd) that links to other r markdowns.
In your index file, add a code chunk with the following bit of code:
```{r child = 'children/summary.Rmd'}
```
This will knit what you have in the summary.Rmd into index.Rmd. For this example, I put summary.Rmd into a sub directory called "children".
Let me know if you have any questions!
I believe that the fastest and the most hassle-free way for you to start with the notebook is to use one of the myriads of static generators available (for example, MkDocs Material) or proceed with an application for taking notes (for example, Notable, Boost Note, and Joplin)
Is there a way in Documentum to get all sub folders of a folder? Can someone suggest a DQL or some thing where I can specify a parent folder and the DQL returns me a folder path of all the sub folders.
select distinct r_folder_path from dm_folder where folder('/Folder1/Folder2', descend)
This will return all the folders and subfolders under /Folder1/Folder2
One thing to keep in mind:
Documentum supports linking objects to multiple parent folders. This means that one folder can have multiple parent folders.
If you have a folder structure like this
Cabinet1
/Test1
/Test3
/Test2/
/Test3
Where Test3 is sub folder of Test1 but also of (as it can be linked to) Test2!
Documentum acomplishes this using repeating attributes. r_folder_path is a repating attribute of dm_folder (actually of dm_sysobject which is it's super type).
So, running a DQL :
select distinct r_folder_path from dm_folder where folder('/Folder1/Folder2', descend)
will return all folder paths your folder is part of (linked to):
/Cabinet1/Test1/Test3
/Cabinet1/Test2/Test3
Which might not be what you are looking for!
As DQL does not allow you to specify which repeating attribute value (you can not specify the index of repeating attribute) to be returned there is not elegant ( and fail safe) way to do it in DQL.
What you can do is to fetch all object_name of subfolders and prefix them with folder path of the parent folder you used in search (but that is with some coding).

Sorry if the question has been answered but I looked a bit on the site and it has helped in many ways already !
I was asked to do in VBA some programming to transfer data into MS Project.
I managed to do it all except for one thing, when I create a resource, Project automatically describes it as a Work Type and some of mine are actually Material Type.
I then thought of changing it after creating the resource and assign it to a task
My bit of problematic code is the following
Set NR = .Resources.Add(name:=tmpTxt)
.Resources(k).Type = pjResourceTypeMaterial
.Resources(k).Assignments.Add TaskID:=j
When I run it I don't have any error message, but in the resource view on MS Project the Type hasn't changed...
I would be very grateful if any of you can help me !
Is there some code you haven't included in your extract that associates NR with .Resources(k)? It looks like you have created a new material resource and tried to set the resource type of some other existing resource to "Material". Can you please include the with . . . end with construct?
Without seeing more of the problem I'm not completely sure what you are having trouble with but assuming you are referencing the ActiveProject all you need to do to create a new Material type resource is:
Set NR = Activeproject.Resources.Add (name := "A New Resource")
NR.Type = pjResourceTypeMaterial
User is selecting rather hefty single XML files via an NSOpenPanel. The application is making moderate changes to the file so I'd like to include an option of creating a backup in a subfolder based on the directory the original file was selected. Creating the new subfolder is no problem but does anybody have a good way to to create a backup of said foo.xml, is there a practice for such thing or is it as simple as creating a duplicate and renaming it foo.back01.xml?
Not sure, how much this Approach will fit with your requirement, but this is what i was doing,
-- Have a directory in the Temporary folder of the System : Assuming once the Application is closed all this files will be deleted,
-- To have the uniqueness in the file, generate file name with following pattern , have a function say [+(NSString *) generateFileNameForExtension:(NSString *)extension Create:(bool)bCreate]
Assuming input is .xml and false , it might give fileName something like this,
AppName128908765445.xml , i.e. [AppName][UTCTimeStamp].[Fileextension]
-- Once you think its done, there could be Function call [self addToDeleteList:(NSString *)fileName] which will add a file to delete list,
-- There would be a function, which shall invoke a timer for 1 minute and every one minute it will read all the files gets added into delete list then delete it.
Will share the code with you if needed...
I have a really quick question. My program actually downloads a zip file then extracts it onto their desktop. But I need an uninstall feature for it, which is basically deleting multiple folders and containing files. How can I do this in vb.net?
If all of your folders are contained in a single folder, it should be pretty straight forward.
Dim path As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) & "\YOURPATH"
System.IO.Directory.Delete(path, True)
That will delete your root directory, and all the directories and files below it. You could just call this several times over if your files and directories are not all in a single root directory like "YOURPATH" in the example. This will spare you from having to remove each file individually.
The .NET IO unit has a two commands that should let you do the trick:
System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories("C:\\Program Files\\Your Directory\\*.*");
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("C:\\Program Files\\Your Directory\\*.*");
I would write a method that takes the name of a directory and uses the "GetFiles" routine to get all of the files and to delete them using System.IO.File.Delete(path) in a foreach loop. Then, run a foreach loop on the result of the GetDirectories() command calling the function recursively.
Update: Steve Danner points out that the System.IO.Directory namespace has a Delete method so you don't need to go through the loops I talk about here. His answer is the right one and should be voted up. Mine, at this point, is more of a curiosity (although thank you to the person who gave me an upvote ;0).
Your are looking for DirectoryInfo, use it like this:
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(path)
di.Delete(True)
Dim path As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) & "\YOURPATH"
System.IO.Directory.Delete(path, True)
