Topic: isdir || mkdir

Not sure why this would fail? Shouldn't this path be created if it doesn't exist and if it already exists, then give a true for isdir()?

 isdir(pth2) || mkdir(pth2)

error:

IOError: mkdir("Y:/Canon Images for Dynamic Heart Phantom/Dynamic Phantom/clean_data/CONFIG 1^275/52/HR 60 KV 80 SEGMENT"; mode=0o777): file already exists (EEXIST)

Could it be that your path is a file?

If you are missing multiple directory levels in the path, isdir will return false and mkdir fail. mkpath is your friend. But from the error message I agree that it looks likely that the path is a file.

Oh that's weird, some earlier code must have renamed a file to that path. I gotta figure out what I am doing wrong

Also mkdir -p may be handy..

mkdir -p works the same way as Julia's mkpath.

Ahh I was wondering what that does but I didn’t want to expose my lack of understanding. Thanks to both of you!
