Thanks Eric! it was the enumerate that I forgot to use! Ahh....
I would like to add a suggestion though.
if not os.path.isdir(oNewDir):
os.mkdir(oNewDir)
else:
print oNewDir + " already exists"
Instead use this to set a mode also which is important if you use linux or
osx, and makedirs can create more than one directory at a time.
try:
os.makedirs(oNewDir, 0775)
except:
print oNewDir + " already exists"
pass
best regards
stefan
