Problem building a path

redStripe

Hello,
I want to create a folder in specific path. The path-string I put with
some information from the item table together.

e.G.:

path := drive + '\' + TextVar1 + '\' + TextVar2 + '\' + TextVar3;

then I get an error when I use CreateFolder.
if I try this way...

path := 'c:\test';

...it works fine.

I think there is a problem with the '\'

btw I use Navision 4.0

Does anybody have an idea?

Are you sure "Drive" includes an ":"?

redStripe

yes I'm sure ... I just tested it again. :-k

A long shot:

Try to use FORMAT('\');

When you create a complete subdir structure, you need to create it step-by step. So in your case:
create "path := drive + '\' + TextVar1"
create "path := drive + '\' + TextVar1 + '\' + TextVar2"
create "path := drive + '\' + TextVar1 + '\' + TextVar2 + '\' + TextVar3;"

ah, indeed, didn't fully understand the problem. :oops:

You can do it in one way with the filesystem-ocx ... but I don't think you want to use automation for this ... .

format('\') gives me the same result.

sorry, I don't understand why it is not simple possible to put some strings
with + together?
If try to put some TextVars with + but without the '\' together
everything is fine.

Sorry man, i just wrote following code:

result := test1 + '\' + test2 + '\' + test3 + '\' + test4;

and the result is just fine in 4.0 and 4.0 SP1.

Which build do you have?

redStripe

I use Nav 4.0
Did you try to CreateFolder(result) ?

in my path-Var stands the right path, but if I try to use
CreateFolder ...it crashes
