Function: Create_Directory

Create a directory if it does not exist. This function also creates intermediate directories if necessary.

Prototype:

string result = create_directory ( string path);

Parameters:

Return value: Type string : Returns "OK" if the directory exists or is created. Otherwise, an error message.

Example:

string res = create_directory("/Users/ole/Desktop/loggfiles/a/b/c/d/e/f"); 

Suppose "loggfiles" does not exist from before then the following happens.

• The directory "loggfiles" is created on the desktop of user "ole", then
• "a" inside it, then
• "b" inside "a", then
• "c" inside "b", then
• "d" inside "c", then
• "e" inside "d", then
• finally "f" inside "e".
  

Otherwise, if some of the directories in this path do not exist, they are created as needed.
