Dale Black (May 22 2021 at 18:53): Dale Black (May 22 2021 at 18:53):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?
Gunnar Farnebäck (May 22 2021 at 19:34):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.
Dale Black (May 22 2021 at 20:24):Oh that's weird, some earlier code must have renamed a file to that path. I gotta figure out what I am doing wrong
Brenhin Keller (May 22 2021 at 20:25):Also mkdir -p may be handy..
Gunnar Farnebäck (May 23 2021 at 12:20):mkdir -p works the same way as Julia's mkpath.
Dale Black (May 24 2021 at 04:52):Ahh I was wondering what that does but I didn’t want to expose my lack of understanding. Thanks to both of you!
