Create Folder

Creates a folder. If the folder specified is a sub-folder and the parent folder(s) do not exist, then they will also be created. Commonly used to automate the creation of a single folder. It can also create multiple folders that are numbered/named sequentially with the use of the Loop action.

Declaration

<AMCREATEFOLDER FOLDER="text" />

Example 1 - Create folder "C:\Temp\Folder1".

<AMCREATEFOLDER FOLDER="C:\Temp\Folder1" />

Example 2 - Create subfolder "C:\Temp\Folder1\Subfolder1".

<AMCREATEFOLDER FOLDER="C:\Temp\Folder1\Subfolder1" />

Example 3 - This sample demonstrates how to create 10 separate folders (named folder1 - folder10) using a Loop action that increments a variable by one during each iteration.

<AMVARIABLE NAME="counterVariable" TYPE="NUMBER">0</AMVARIABLE>

<AMLOOP TOTALLOOPS="10" RESULTVARIABLE="counterVariable">

<AMCREATEFOLDER FOLDER="C:\Temp\Folder%counterVariable%" />

</AMLOOP>
