Mkdir Batch
24 Can anybody tell me how to do the following in in a Windows batch script? (*.bat): Create a folder only if it doesn't already exist In more detail, I want to create a folder named VTS on the C:\ drive, but only if that folder doesn't already exist. I don't want to overwrite the contents of the folder if it already exists and the batch is executed. windows batch-file cmd share|improve batch file to create folders and subfolders this question edited Jun 22 at 15:14 Ross Ridge 17.9k22050 asked Nov 12 '10 at 14:01 Bill 981263 add a comment| 9 Answers 9 active oldest votes up vote 254 down vote You just use this: if not exist "C:\VTS" mkdir C:\VTS it wll create a directory only if the folder does not exist. share|improve this answer answered Dec 19 '13 at 17:27 The Answerer 2,565142 47 I'm really surprised it took someone three years to come up with this answer. +1 –Bobson Aug 22 '14 at 14:54 2 Except that it's wrong. You have to check for the NUL device, otherwise it won't work. See my answer three years earlier than this one. –Martin Schapendonk Feb 11 at 21:39 @MartinSchapendonk This works on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2012 as far as I can tell from testing, and I'd be very surprised if it doesn't work at least back to XP and up to Windows 10. Can you provide the conditions when this doesn't work? –jpmc26 Mar 10 at 19:00 3 @jpmc26 testing for NUL is to make sure you test for a directory. Otherwise the condition might evaluate to true, even it is a regular file. That is the difference. –Martin Schapendonk Mar 13 at

Discussion in 'Webmastering & Programming' started by Cyrilix, Dec 12, 2006. Dec 12, 2006 #1 Cyrilix 2[H]4U Messages: 2,188 Joined: Jan 21, 2005 I'm not actually doing this on the http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4165387/create-folder-with-batch-but-only-if-it-doesnt-already-exist command line, but rather when building Visual Studio solutions as a post-build event. I would like to create a certain directory, but assuming I build the solution many times, anytime past the first will cause an error. Is there any way to do any of the below in one command? -make a directory as a postbuild event ignoring errors (if directory already exists) or -copy over https://hardforum.com/threads/how-to-ignore-mkdir-error-if-folder-already-exists.1132072/ a file from one place to another and creating the directory automatically if it doesn't exist Cyrilix, Dec 12, 2006 Cyrilix, Dec 12, 2006 #1 Dec 12, 2006 #2 mikeblas [H]ard|DCer of the Month - May 2006 Messages: 12,842 Joined: Jun 26, 2004 Can you get the /I option on XCOPY to do what you want? mikeblas, Dec 12, 2006 mikeblas, Dec 12, 2006 #2 Dec 12, 2006 #3 tim_m i'm so nice Messages: 5,534 Joined: Feb 10, 2003 assuming you're putting a command in some batch file or something can you do ? if not exist mydir mkdir mydir tim_m, Dec 12, 2006 tim_m, Dec 12, 2006 #3 Dec 13, 2006 #4 Cyrilix 2[H]4U Messages: 2,188 Joined: Jan 21, 2005 The /I still asks me whether or not I want to specify a filename, directory, or target, and since it prompts but in a build event I cannot automatically specify which one, it fails. mkdir throws an error if the directory already exists. I'm also looking at the option of a script...but really, I thought something this simple would be easy to do... maybe not... Cyrilix, Dec 13,
