Hello all,
is there a function to make multiple directories
like os.makedirs in Python?
I tried Dir.singleton_methods but nothing that
would fit.
if not can it be added to Ruby?
Regards, Daniel
piece of cake 
def mkdirs(*dirs)
dirs.each do |dir| Dir.mkdir(dir) end
end
mkdirs “dir1”, “dir2” , “dir3”

require ‘ftools’
File.makedirs (“/path/that/does/not/exist”)
File.makepath is also a sysnonym.

thx, that’s what I looked for
I expected it to be a method of Dir
File.makepath is also a sysnonym.

They’re actually definedd in module FileUtils.

mkdir_p is not in ftools. It is in FileUtils. It is
Recommended™ that you use FileUtils instead of ftools, but I’m
lazy, and didn’t look it up.
require ‘fileutils’
FileUtils::mkdir_p(“/path/that/does/not/exist”)

Sorry, that should be File.mkpath.
File.makepath and File.mkdir_p seem to be undefined
as for the names I think makepath is a pretty fitting name
but I dont like abbrevations like mkdir_p
mkdir_p is named as such because UNIX users get the same functionality
from ‘mkdir -p’ at the command line.
p stands for parents, as the parent directories are also created if
necessary.

I always start guessing what may p stand for
File.makedirs is also very suitable name
