_EnterSetName issues...

[mr-es335]

Good day,
In a similar manner as that of a previous posting entitled, "FileSelectFolder Issues", I am having a similar issue here...though possibly...in reverse!?

Here is the script:

expandcollapse popup

; -----------------------------------------------
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
; -----------------------------------------------
Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1)
; -----------------------------------------------
Global $g_SetName = ""
; -----------------------------------------------
_EnterSetName()
_DoesFolderExist()
; -----------------------------------------------
Func _EnterSetName()
    $g_SetName = InputBox("Notice!", "Enter the Type_# Set_Name...", "", " M", 200, 130)
    ConsoleWrite("1st: $g_SetName= " & $g_SetName & @CRLF)
    ; -----------------
    If @error Then
        MsgBox($MB_ICONWARNING, "Notice!", "The operation was cancelled. Exiting!")
        Exit
    Else
        _DoesFolderExist()
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_EnterSetName
; -----------------------------------------------
Func _DoesFolderExist()
    Local $_DoesFolderExist = FileExists($g_SetName)
    Local $_sTypeFolder = StringMid($g_SetName, 10, 6)
    Local $_sSubFolder = StringMid($g_SetName, 17)
    ; -----------------------------------------------
    If $_DoesFolderExist Then
        ; This will never occur, thus the sole purpose of _EnterSetName()
        ;MsgBox($MB_TOPMOST, "Success!", "The [" & $_sTypeFolder & "] subfolder [" & $_sSubFolder & "] already exists!")
    Else
        _CreateFolder()
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_DoesFolderExist
; -----------------------------------------------
Func _CreateFolder()
    MsgBox($MB_TOPMOST, "NOTICE!", "Made it to _CreateFolder!")
EndFunc   ;==>_CreateFolder
; -----------------------------------------------

The issue:
As with the FileSelectFolder Issues, the path must always consist of the following: F:\Audio\TypeName\SetName.
However, I found that it IS possible, for me to enter F:\Audio\TypeName - which is an error, and yet the script continues.
The very same anomaly occurs if I happen to enter: F:\Audio\TypeName\SetName\wav - which is also an error!

As can be observed, after the path has been entered, the _DoesFolderExist function is called...and I would assume that it would be within this function that all of the necessary error trapping would occur?!

Thus, I require the "ways-and-means" of being able to trap these errors before continuing on with the _CreateFolder() function.

Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE!!!
It is not so much that the SetName folder exists, but rather, that the path is correct!! I do hope that this makes sense?

hello mr-es335;

i did read your topic and i did understand little bit so what you did say that you want to:

Thus, I require the "ways-and-means" of being able to trap these errors before continuing on with the _CreateFolder() function.

 

here is my solution for you:

Func _DoesFolderExist()
    Local $_DoesFolderExist = FileExists($g_SetName)
    Local $_sTypeFolder = StringMid($g_SetName, 10, 6)
    Local $_sSubFolder = StringMid($g_SetName, 17)
    ; -----------------------------------------------
    If $_DoesFolderExist Then
        ; This will never occur, thus the sole purpose of _EnterSetName()
        ;MsgBox($MB_TOPMOST, "Success!", "The [" & $_sTypeFolder & "] subfolder [" & $_sSubFolder & "] already exists!")
    Else
     _beforeProc()
        _CreateFolder()
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_DoesFolderExist
; -----------------------------------------------
Func _beforeProc()
    ;type here your script
EndFunc

ad777,

I gather that what you are inferring to here, is that "_beforeProc()" is where the error trapping would occur? Correct?
