MightyR1 MightyR1 MM club member Registered: 1999-09-09 Posts: 1264 Loc: The Netherlands	Badboii, tried earlier posted code at work: code: Break on CLS If Exist("e:\y\nul") <> 0 ? "Y exists" Else ? "Y missing" EndIf On W2kPro SP2 with Kix4.10a ***** At home tried following: code: Break on CLS :chk If Exist("e:\y\nul") = 0 ? "Y missing, creating it..." MD "e:\y" Goto "chk" Else ? "Y exists" EndIf On WinXp with Kix4.10a if Dir y didn't exist, first run gives: Y missing, creating it... Y exists second run gives: Y exists ***** So it seems to work... what code did yuu try???

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	it should work as adding nul after anything is just anything. so computer does not see any difference with: dir c:\ and dir c:\nul nul is kindof void. you can address stuff to it which is sucked to nowhere. but trying to read it returns nothing. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
