You are right. In the above answer I was just concerned with the way of output. I should have thought on the approach itself. Thanks marto. -- Regards - Samar	[reply]

Hi marto, Thats actually what I was looking for..managed to use the built in command instead. I have been trying to find other errors reported by $!(File exists being the only one that kept coming up with the code), without any luck. I know this sounds pretty silly but, can you please tell me how i can find them(maybe a list of some sort)....im still a newbie. Thanks for all the help so far!!	[reply]

On the system documented by this man page, `mkdir` can return the following: EACCES EEXIST EFAULT ELOOP ENAMETOOLONG ENOENT ENOMEM ENOSPC ENOTDIR EPERM EROFS Those constants are provided by Errno and via %!. Don't rely on the stringification except for display purposes, because that depends on the system's locale.	[reply] [d/l]
