Creating deep directories

[Syslock]

I'm trying to create a file for writing:

FILE *File = fopen( "C:\\some\\really\\deep\\directory\\blah.dat", "rb" );


The only problem is, none of these subdirectories exist, so fopen fails.

Is there a simple way to create all of these directories, when trying to
write a file?

Is there a general command to create deep directories that don't exist,
using just a single string of those sub-directories?

yeah, I can probably write up a hack to handle cases like this,
but I would rather use something that already does it if there is one.

Well...not to my knowledge...you have to do it one by one...

SHCreateDirectoryEx might work for you...

Cool....I guess I have to take a deeper look at the shell functions (which I tried to avoid for a long time)...

[Syslock]

This function creates a file system folder whose fully qualified path is given by pszPath. If one or more of the intermediate folders do not exist, they will be created as well.

That's sounds like exactly what I need. Thanks.

That's why I said might...
