filebox1.path = dirbrowser1.path

[theyikes]

Hey! Ok I've been using Gambas for about 20 minutes, it's cool! So far I've managed to create folders and files but I'm kind of stuck on this one. I have a filebox and a dirbrowser. I'd like to be able to change the filebox directory to match the Dirbrowser one when i click on the browser. I know it's basic but i kind of need your help. I promise it's the first and last question of the night people!

Regard

it's okay, i figured it out, for those who may be following in my footsteps the answer is FileBox1.Path = DirChooser1.SelectedPath

on a seperete question I'm trying to create a folder. I can use

mkdir "/home/Auser/Desktop/gambas4"

but i cannot use

Mkdir FileChooser1.SelectedPath "Gambas4"

any tips?

Mkdir FileChooser1.SelectedPath "Gambas4"

Mkdir FileChooser1.SelectedPath &/ "Gambas4"

Thank you The Bruce! Love the name!!! I have one more quick question. It has to do with error handling. When i execute my script and i create a folder is there anyway of preventing from crashing if i try to recreate said folder? Please excuse the newbie questions but I'm only a little bit experienced in visual basic.

An other option:

If Not Exist(FileChooser1.SelectedPath &/ "Gambas4")
  Mkdir FileChooser1.SelectedPath &/ "Gambas4"
Endif
