mkdirs function?

[Daniel Schüle]

Hello all,

is there a function to make multiple directories
like os.makedirs in Python?

I tried Dir.singleton_methods but nothing that
would fit.
if not can it be added to Ruby?

Regards, Daniel

piece of cake

def mkdirs(*dirs)
dirs.each do |dir| Dir.mkdir(dir) end
end

mkdirs "dir1", "dir2" , "dir3"

thx, that's what I looked for
I expected it to be a method of Dir

File.makepath is also a sysnonym.

Hi

and mkdir_p

irb(main):070:0> File.makedirs
=> []
irb(main):071:0> File.makepath
NoMethodError: undefined method `makepath' for File:Class
from (irb):71
from :0
irb(main):072:0> File.mkdir_p
NoMethodError: undefined method `mkdir_p' for File:Class
from (irb):72
from :0
irb(main):073:0>

File.makepath and File.mkdir_p seem to be undefined
as for the names I think makepath is a pretty fitting name
but I dont like abbrevations like mkdir_p
I always start guessing what may p stand for
File.makedirs is also very suitable name

Regards, Daniel

mkdir_p is not in ftools. It *is* in FileUtils. It is
Recommended(tm) that you use FileUtils instead of ftools, but I'm
lazy, and didn't look it up.

Sorry, that should be File.mkpath.

File.makepath and File.mkdir_p seem to be undefined

mkdir_p is named as such because UNIX users get the same functionality
from 'mkdir -p' at the command line.

p stands for parents, as the parent directories are also created if necessa=
ry.
