Directory or Folder Creating Program with C C Language

Problem:  How to create a directory or folder

Solution

This is a program to make a folder or directory in a specific disk drive. To create a folder a function named mkdir () is used here. Within the parenthesis, you have to put the specific disk drive and folder name like C:/name. Programming code for creating a directory goes below.

Example: Code to create a folder or directory

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<process.h>
#include<dir.h>

void main()
{
   int check;
  char *dirname;
  clrscr();
  printf("Enter a directory path and name to be created (C:/name):");
  gets(dirname);
  check = mkdir(dirname);

  if (!check)
  printf("Directory created
");

 else
 {
   printf("Unable to create directory
");
   exit(1);
 }

  getch();
  system("dir/p");
  getch();
}

Output

Enter a directory path and name to be created (C:/name): C:/test.
Directory created.

Remark

Run this program and visit c drive. You will find a folder named TEST. If you don’t use path, you will find it in BIN directory.
