Subject: non-interactive shell
Date: Sat, 22 Mar 2008 19:27:04 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <y5mdneGapvlOPnjanZ2dnUVZ_qelnZ2d@sysmatrix.net> (raw)

Apparently it's not possible to make a new directory with:

  (shell-command (concat "md " path))

where path is some string like

"\\a\\b\\c"

Is it possible at all to make a directory under the default-directory 
with elisp and using a variable rather than a literal string. Of course 
M-! works fine but that requires manual intervention. If this is not 
possible on the w32 port, can it be done in Emacs under Gnu/Linux?


Thanks for any help,

Ed
