This answer changes with .NET 4.5. Creating a zip file becomes incredibly easy. No third-party libraries will be required. string startPath = @”c:\example\start”; string zipPath = @”c:\example\result.zip”; string extractPath = @”c:\example\extract”; ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(startPath, zipPath); ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory(zipPath, extractPath);
For creating and manipulating OS-specific paths directly use os.PathSeparator and the path/filepath package. An alternative method is to always use “https://stackoverflow.com/” and the path package throughout your program.

If your script is located in /var/www/dir/index.php then the following would return: dirname(__FILE__); // /var/www/dir or dirname( dirname(__FILE__) ); // /var/www Edit This is a technique used in many frameworks to determine relative paths from the app_root. File structure: /var/ www/ index.php subdir/ library.php index.php is my dispatcher/boostrap file that all requests are routed to: … Read more
See help ?unlink: Value 0 for success, 1 for failure, invisibly. Not deleting a non-existent file is not a failure, nor is being unable to delete a directory if recursive = FALSE.

os.path.exists will also return True if there’s a regular file with that name. os.path.isdir will only return True if that path exists and is a directory, or a symbolic link to a directory.
stat() works on Linux., UNIX and Windows as well: #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> struct stat info; if( stat( pathname, &info ) != 0 ) printf( “cannot access %s\n”, pathname ); else if( info.st_mode & S_IFDIR ) // S_ISDIR() doesn’t exist on my windows printf( “%s is a directory\n”, pathname ); else printf( “%s is no … Read more

That property will be the directory you’re running in, so run the parent project and each module can get the path to that root directory. I put the plugin configuration that uses this property in the parent pom so that … Read more
Use the WINAPI CreateDirectory() function to create a folder. You can use this function without checking if the directory already exists as it will fail but GetLastError() will return ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS: if (CreateDirectory(OutputFolder.c_str(), NULL) || ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS == GetLastError()) { // CopyFile(…) } else { // Failed to create directory. } The code for constructing the target … Read more
