creating new folder and opening browse window through .ipl file

hello all

I want to do some operations like copying a file from one workarea to another workarea. for that i am using 'iwcp' that is working fine if the source workarea and target workarea are having same folder structre below them. if there is some missing folder in the targert workarea then it creates a problem. so i want to check the folder structure of target area and if there is some missing folder then i want to create it automatically.

can any one plz tell me how to create a folder in teamsite using perl script.
thanx in advance

Hi,

Running unix commands in perl is fairly simple:

place the command in backticks, i.e. `mkdir dir`;
use system(cmd).

UGH - running Unix commands in Perl when there are perfectly good built-in functions and modules for the same thing is a waste of performance. If you need to do something like that - use File: Smiley Tongue

ath's mkpath() function - it's far more efficient and portable across platforms.

That being said - I think if you use iwupdate instead of iwcp and specify the target workarea as just that, the path to the workarea not the path to the file in the workarea - I believe that it will create the directories as necessary and then copy the file and all of its EAs.

Thanks a lot for information and showing the better path, Thanks again.
