Create a directory if it doesn't exist
Use the WINAPI CreateDirectory()
function to create a folder.
You can use this function without checking if the directory already exists as it will fail but GetLastError()
will return ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS
:
if (CreateDirectory(OutputFolder.c_str(), NULL) || ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS == GetLastError()){ // CopyFile(...)}else{ // Failed to create directory.}
The code for constructing the target file is incorrect:
string(OutputFolder+CopiedFile).c_str()
this would produce "D:\testEmploi Nam.docx"
: there is a missing path separator between the directory and the filename. Example fix:
string(OutputFolder+"\\"+CopiedFile).c_str()
Probably the easiest and most efficient way is to use boost and the boost::filesystem functions. This way you can build a directory simply and ensure that it is platform independent.
const char* path = _filePath.c_str();boost::filesystem::path dir(path);if(boost::filesystem::create_directory(dir)){ std::cerr<< "Directory Created: "<<_filePath<<std::endl;}
