MKDIR Keyword

MKDIR string-expression

Creates a new directory in the filesystem.

• string-expression must evaluate to the directory name or path.
• Paths starting with / are absolute; other paths are relative to the current directory.

Remarks

Paths are case-insensitive, and . / .. are not supported in paths.

If the directory already exists, or the path refers to an existing file, an error is raised

(catchable with ON ERROR).
