Azure FileX how to create directory with sub folders

Hab Collector
Associate III

I can use the fx_directory_create() api to create a single directory level.  However I cannot seem to create a directory with sub folders with a single call.  For example, I can create the directory "TestDirectory", but I cannot create "TestDirectory/Folder1".  The API example shows only a single level, but I could do such a thing with FAT FS f_mkdir() so the presumption is I can do this with fx_directory_create(), however all that I have tried have not work.  Can anyone tell me if this is possible and if so, what should the syntax be for the directory name string. 

 

Thanks,

Hab

So do it as a 2-step process:

  1. create the upper directory "TestDirectory";
  2. create the subdirectory "Folder1" within the newly-created "TestDirectory"

You can't just presume that; if Azure FileX only describes doing one level at a time, that's presumably the way you have to do it?

FatFs is an entirely different project by an entirely different author.
