get path of unexisting file

[Gert]

Hi,

I'm using inet.getUrl(serverFile, localFile) to download a file.
The local path does not yet exist, so there's an error.

How can I create the subfolder(s) where the file has to be created?

Is there a way to extract the path of the string "localFile" and to create the folder?

tnx,
Gert

It's becomming a habit: I found a solution myself

here's what I did:

//convert double slashes to backslash
var tmp = localFile.split("//").join("\\")
tmp = tmp.split("\\")
//remove file name (remaining part = path)
tmp.pop()
var subPath = tmp.join("\\")
trace(">>>>"+ subPath)

if (!Folder.exists(subPath)) {
new Folder(subPath);
trace(">>CREATED: " + subPath)
}

Is it possible this only works when creating one subFolder
we'll probably need a recursife function to create more subFolders

anyone has this function ?

function createFolder(pathName)
{
pathName = pathName.split("/").join("\\");
var items = pathName.split('\\');
var name = '';
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++)
{
name = name + items[i] + '\\';
if (!Folder.exists(name))
{
new Folder(name);
}
}
}

createFolder("c:/hello\\world/one\\two/three");
