How to copy a file to a non existing directory?

Ruby

Is there a way to copy a file to a directory that does not exist ? If I
try

require ‘fileutils’

FileUtils.cp(‘c:/trash.txt’, ‘c:/mart/martin.txt’)

I get the following message :

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:1246:in initialize': No such file or director y - c:/mart/martin.txt (Errno::ENOENT) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:1246:inopen’

Hi

You’ll need to create the directory first with

FileUtils.mkdir(‘c:/mart’)
