How do I create a folder using ExtendScript?

问题:

This seems like it would be a very easy problem to solve, but I've been banging my head against it for almost an hour. All I need is a snippet of javascript/extendscript code so that my InDesign CS6 script can create a folder. I know the existing folder in which the new one should be created, and I know the name that this new folder should be called. But how do I get javascript to do it?

By the way, all searches online for the folderObj.create() method, which is in the JavaScript Tools Guide, prove useless. I've tried several variations on that method, but nothing seems to actually create the folder. What am I missing?

回答1:

    var f = new Folder('/c/myfolder/');
    if (!f.exists)
        f.create();

Okay, found a work-around: I have to specify the folder absolutely, rather than use the ~ home shortcut. In addition, I have use /Volumes at the very beginning. Thus, the code becomes:

var f = new Folder("/Volumes/apache HD/Users/apache/Desktop/my_new_fodler");  
f.create();

And that seems to work, finally. Thanks for your help, @Anna Forrest and @fabiantheblind! (You seem to be the resident ExtendScript expert around here.)

try this:

var f = new Folder("~/Desktop/my_new_fodler");  
f.create();
