Hi, Is it possible to get the user to choose a folder name the same way you would a normal file to save, then write the output stream to this newly created folder?Thanks,Bex

new java.io.File("MyNewDirectoryName").mkdir();

And it returns a boolean status, if you want to know if it was successful.

new java.io.File("MyNewParentDirectory/MyNewDirectoryName").mkdirs();

To create the parents as necessary. Also returns a status.

I did a quick Google search for "Java Swing select directory" and came up with this link:

'course, I don't like how that feels m'self so I implemented a directory chooser in the form of a tree. :-P But that's not quite as simple. Cheers!
