Hi.
When I use CreateFolder() to create a folder with a space at the end,
it creates the folder successfully, but still errors out with a "Path
not Found" error.
For example:
<%
Dim strCurrentPath
strCurrentPath = "c:\test folder \
If Not oFO.FolderExist s(strCurrentPat h) Then
oFO.CreateFolde r(strCurrentPat h) 'Errors on this line.
End If
%>
After the folder is created, it cannot be deleted or renamed
immediately. I think there still must be some process attached. The
error when trying to delete it is: "Cannot delete file: Cannot read
from the source file or disk."
I need to be able to leave the space in for now.
Any ideas on why this occurs?
Thanks! 10 1707
Just as a follow on, I can get around this by adding "on error" around
the createFolder(), but I'd rather get to the bottom of the error.
Here is an example of something I would do:
<%
Dim strCurrentPath
Dim strErrNum, strErrMessage
strCurrentPath = "c:\test folder \
If Not oFO.FolderExist s(strCurrentPat h) Then
On Error Resume Next
oFO.CreateFolde r(strCurrentPat h)
If Not oFO.FolderExist s(strCurrentPat h) Then
strErrNum = Err.number
strErrMessage = Err.Description
End If
On Error GoTo 0
If Len(strErrMessa ge) > 0 Then
Err.Raise strErrNum, "CreateFolder() , strErrMessage
End If
End If
%>
After some investigation, it appears that if you leave off the trailing
"\" on the path, the folder gets created successfully with no error,
and the trailing space gets stripped off.
Unfortunately, with FileExists() if you are looking for "c:\test
\folder\test.tx t" it won't strip and it won't match.
On a brigher note (slightly) this is taken care of in asp.net with all
trailing spaces removed on exists() and createfolder() with or without
the final "\".
I cant see why you would want to create a folder with a space at the end?

We use user input project names to create folders and then reference
those project names to read from those folders. This is a legacy aspect
of the system that will definitely change, but it is so integrated at
this point that it needs to stay for the time being.
I'm hoping it will be converted to a better system in the next 2
months, but the show must go on until then.
Anyway, it is interesting to see the inconsistencies and I can't be the
first to be bitten by it...
I still don't understand
Why cant you just use Trim(folderName ) to get rid of the space?

When beginning development, you are correct. Just use Trim or something
similar.
*Code written w/o vars for ease.
So I:
CreateFolder(TR IM("c:\test "))
Then I want to put another folder in that first one from a different
section of the site at a different time:
CreateFolder(TR IM("c:\test \test2 "))
Ooops!
I trimmed the first CreateFolder so now when creating the second I have
to trim both...
CreateFolder(TR IM("c:\test ") + TRIM("\test2 "))
And what happens when I use FileExists or FolderExists? Same
thing....Trim's on everything.
In my case I would have to add that in approximately 200 files of code,
multiple times in some of them.
For a set of code used in 16 seperate production sites, that is a lot
of changing and a whole lot of testing.
Not to mention that file uploading, downloading and manipulation are
integral to our product so if something went wrong with that it would
be a major issue.
Again, "I'm hoping it will be converted to a better system in the next
2 months, but the show must go on until then."
Plus, I'm not condoning this "trailing space" practice in any way, mind
you, it is simply the code I'm dealing with. You must understand the
position of walking into old badly developed code and having to deal
until you can correct it...

where are the stored?
lop though them
using the 1 line of code including trim?

Folder names are project names, task names, contract names, review
names, location names and report names that users input. All files
associated with all those things go into the folder named for that
thing.

I'm mean in a programming sense, you must have them in a database or a array
or something,
there for you only have to use Trim once and loop though your collection This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

we are prefixing the path with @ symbol and also tried with the escaping the

Hello,
I have been searching for what createfolder can return or does return.
Where on MSDN can I find what a MS method returns? I have searched for
filesystemobject.createfolder errors, error codes, error, etc. and cannot
find what it returns. The syntax document for the method on MSDN doesn't
list what it returns.
I need to know what the method can return so I can handle exceptions.
