This section explains how to create a folder(Also called directory) using vbscript. A folder can be created using the 'CreateFolder' function of the file system object. The syntax of the 'CreateFolder' function is given below

Syntax: CreateFolder foldername

Here the argument 'foldername' is a mandatory argument. The folder will be created with this name. If a folder with this name already exists then vbscript will show an error.

The following code creates a folder with a given name. If a folder exists with the same name, you will get an error.

Dim ObjFso
Dim StrFolderName

On Error Resume Next

StrFolderName = "C:\NewTestFolder"
Set ObjFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
ObjFso.CreateFolder StrFolderName
If Err.Number = 0 Then
   WScript.Echo("Folder successfully created.")
Else
   WScript.Echo("Folder cannot be created.")
End If
