hi i have the following code that makes a directory of a name and path stored in the variable 'OUTPUT_FILE'. However after it is created i want to check if it is created correctly then do other calculations for example "if OUTPUT_FILE is created then do something else."

Does anyone know of syntax to check if a file is created. I tried '.open()' but it didnt do what i thought it mite, unless i coded it wrong

CODE


if (hex_att == 16)
     {
      

    mkdir(OUTPUT_FILE.c_str());
}



thanks

Try using stat to retrieve the files statistics, if you can do this then the file must exist.
int i = stat(file.c_str(),&info);
this returns 0 if the file exists.

i seem to be having a few problems withchecking the directory. When i run my prog it does create the directory so it is definatly doing what i thought it was doing however when i path to the new folder it wont put things in it, (sorry this is kind of an overlap problem of my prev pos). I cnt understand when the folder is creating why it wont let me path an ofstream to it
