Please let us create custom directories under documents or temp
Something like
io.createDirectory(“mydirectory”, system.DocumentsDirectory);
or
os.create(“mydirectory”, system.DocumentsDirectory); [import]uid: 44071 topic_id: 22333 reply_id: 322333[/import]
did you try the mkdir with os.execute ? [import]uid: 3826 topic_id: 22333 reply_id: 89020[/import]
How would I know the path to the documents folder? system.DocumentsDirectory is not a string… [import]uid: 44071 topic_id: 22333 reply_id: 89024[/import]
but a string is what it provides you when you use it to create a path for a file or a directory.
See pathForFile [import]uid: 3826 topic_id: 22333 reply_id: 89025[/import]
system.DocumentsDirectory and such return data structures, not strings that you can simply append too. The system doesn’t want you to know exactly where they are. @dsadites answer of using the LFS is the right one. After that when you use system.pathForFile(), you specify:
local path = system.pathForFile(" yourdirectorynamehere/ yourfilename.here", system.DocumentsDirectory)
That is of course after you’ve made that directory using LFS.
