CreateDir with variables?

[Tourless]

Hi Folks.

I'm not sure what's wrong with this...

Code: Select all

Month>varMonth
Day>varDay
Year>varYear
...
CreateDir>S:\dir\dir2\dir3\%varMonth%-%varDay%-%varYear%

I literally get a folder named %varMonth%-%varDay%-%varYear%. I use those over and over in my code but am only having a problem with them using CreateDir. So then I think ok, what if I make a folder and name it new folder, then rename it, but I can't see a function for renaming a folder?? Is that right? I'd hate to think I have to open explorer, navigate, click and F2 to rename a folder in my script. I'm sure that can't be right, I must be missing something that's right under my nose.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be most appreciative.

You can use the CopyFolder> command and then the DeleteFolder> to "rename" a folder... but, I cannot understand why the script wouldn't take those variable in the name... are you sure they are set? Use the **BREAKPOINT** just before the CreateDir> and look in the variable "watch list".

You could also try to have a:

Code: Select all

Let>Temp_folder_path=S:\dir\dir2\dir3\%varMonth%-%varDay%-%varYear%

right before the CreateDir> command

That's why... I'm F8 testing and my variables are set way at the beginning of my script about 600 lines back. I knew it was right under my nose. Thank you!!
