Question Hello. I see you are an expert with qbasic, so i thought you sure were able to help me with my problem. See me and my friend are practicing for a competition and we got this program we just cant solve. We have to make a program which takes a string and makes the folder with that string as its name. But we do not know how to make a file inside that folder with the same program. The program should take a string and make a file with that string as its name inside the folder we made earlier. So if you can help us, please do :D
Answer Hi, Faris,
It looks like there are 3 steps to this program.
First, you have to get the string name:
DIM UserInput AS STRING
INPUT "Name of folder and file: ", UserInput
Next, you have to create a folder.
In the QBasic help section, go into Index, and look up the MKDIR command. It will tell you how to make folders with a specific name.
With the folder made, you'll have to make a file. You'll want to look up the OPEN command in the help menu. To open and create a file, there are a few sub-steps you'll have to figure out.
If you need specific help, if you show me some of your code, and I point you in the right direction.
-Alex
