Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to write a small CLI script (shell script?) that will automatically create a directory somewhere by appending a kind of auto-counter. Let me illustrate this: 1) Directory to create is (always) 'my_dir_' + <auto_counter> 2) Script reads the file structure and looks for any 'my_dir_<n>' matches. For instance: my_dir_01 my_dir_02 my_dir_03 3) Script then automatically creates the directory by appending the correct counter. In this case that would be 'my_dir_04'. Could someone point me out in the right direction? Miguel PS: Please accept my apologies if I've posted in the wrong forum.

You can use wildcards with FindFirstFile() to get names of directories one by one. Use sscanf() or atoi() or your other favorite string-to- integer function to get the digits at the end of directory name in integral form. Keep track of max, add one to max, sprintf() back to string, then CreateDirectory(). http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364418(VS.85).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363855.aspx HTH, -Le Chaud Lapin-
