About Folder object path

[_Avi_]

Hello ,

My name is Avi. I want to create a folder on desktop for mac as well for windows. I want to create this folder using javascript. I am using cs3.

When anybody try to run this script on any operating system the folder will be create on desktop or any where as per users requirement.

Is there any logic between paths of mac osx and windows directory. Using that i can create a folder on any operating system.

I want to create a single script which can use for both operating system.

I knew how to create a folder using FILE SYSTEM ACCESS

create a folder object(folderobj)
To create a folder use folderobj.create().

Is this information sufficient to understand my problem or i need to explain it more.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Hi Avi,

Here is an example:

var myFolder = new Folder ("~/Desktop/My New Folder");
if (myFolder.exists == false){
myFolder.create();
}
else {
alert("Folder \"My New Folder\" already exists.");
}

var g3 = myDlg.msgPnl1.add( "group" );
myDlg.msgPnl1.titleSt = g3.add('statictext', undefined, 'Name: ');
myDlg.msgPnl1.titleEt = g3.add('edittext', undefined,'Test');
var amit = myDlg.msgPnl1.titleEt.editContents;
alert(amit);
myDlg.msgPnl1.create = g3.add('button', undefined, 'Create');
myDlg.msgPnl1.titleSt = g3.add('statictext', undefined, ' ');
