Need to create a directory

anuragpgtgerman · December 10, 2012, 6:27am

I need to know how to create the directory but with name

stp/wsSTP

.

I am using the

slash to desepeclize the charater but not able to do this.

You want to create a directory with a / (slash) in the name?

I don't think you can do that, or know why on Earth you'd want to.

I am working on a script where I need to put a paramter with this name

 
stp/wsUAL

But I cannot create the direcotry..I am able to create it with name

stp\wsUAL

As an alternative, with

mkdir -p stp/wsUAL

you create both directories at once. Is that an option?

What output you are getting after making directory

mkdir stp\wsUAL

Can you just tell me the output after doing

ls

Hi
I am not getting the desired output..the code you gave me that is creating the wsUAL subdirecotry under stp directory ..I want the name of the directory should be

stp/wsUAL

.

'/' is a restricted character. You can not use it in a directory name.

Script around it and use something like '=s' for slash it that's unique in your situation. Let your script translate it back to '/' if needed.

Thanks all for your Support.I achieved my desired result with

sed 's#\\#/#g'

command.It changes the backslash

to forward

.When I enter

stp\wsSTP

from front end this code replaced it to my desired results.

Thanks
