I am working on Win 7 machine with FME 64x. Here is a query for no-spatial purpose. I want to create a list of empty folders from a workbench.
Example-
I have a Local drive 'D' and I want to create folders like-
01_Source
02_Data
03_FME
04_ArcGIS
05_Erdas
06_AOI
and subfolders moreover -
01_Source\\Directory\\File
06_Erdas\\POI_Image
Is it possible using FME.
Thanks
I think Python script is a quick way. For example:
-----
import fmeobjects, os
def processFeature(feature):
dir = feature.getAttribute('directory')
if not os.path.exists(dir):
os.makedirs(dir)

Thank you Takashi for the reply. I did check your method for my question, but could not go through, I am a little low in coding actually.
I have got a method for the same.
We can use the "Creator" transformer and use "file copy" as the writer. A very simple workbench is displayed below. :)
.
If you need to create many folders, create a workspace like this:
Then, you can run it repeatedly via another workspace having a WorkspaceRunner.
But, I am getting trouble using this. What i/p and o/p should I give to use this transformer?
Thanks
Just one example, if you have a text file containing folder paths line by line:
-----
01_Source\\Directory\\File
06_Erdas\\POI_Image
.....
-----
you can read the file with the Text File reader, and send every feature to the WorkspaceRunner (pass "text_line_data" to Destination File Copy Directory parameter).
-----
D:\\01_Source\\Directory\\File
D:\\06_Erdas\\POI_Image
.....
