Hi Aaron,
Good tip - I've got it locked in. However, I get an
"UnsupportedFormatException" error when I call f1 = New FolderItems(tmpPath,
FolderItem.PathTypeShell). In the code below, tmpPath contains a Unix path of
the type:
"/Volumes/Drive/Backups/123456"
My code to walk through that, supposedly creating missing path elements as I
run, looks like this:
f1 = GetFolderItem(tmpPath, FolderItem.PathTypeShell)
if f1 = Nil Then
Debug.Print "f1 is Nil, creating folder"
f1 = New FolderItem(tmpPath, FolderItem.PathTypeShell)
// The error occurs on that last line
Debug.Print f1.AbsolutePath + ", " + f1.ShellPath
f1.CreateAsFolder
End If
I always get the "UnsupportedFormatException" error when I get to the path
element that doesn't exist. According to the FolderItem LR entry, this should
only occur if the path is not an absolute path. However, I am passing an
absolute path. Further searches on "UnsupportedFormatException" provide no
further details.
