=={{header|Seed7}}==

Seed7 uses a [http://seed7.sourceforge.net/manual/os.htm#Standard_path_representation standard path representation]

to make paths operating system independent. In the standard path representation

a / is used as path delimiter and drive letters like C: must be written as /c instead.

Creating files and directories in a file system root may need privileges, so the program may fail,

when it is started by a normal user.

<lang seed7>$ include "seed7_05.s7i";

include "osfiles.s7i";

const proc: main is func

local

var file: aFile is STD_NULL;

begin

aFile := open("output.txt", "w");

close(aFile);

mkdir("docs");

aFile := open("/output.txt", "w");

close(aFile);

mkdir("/docs");

end func;</lang>

Under Windows each filesystem has its own root.

Therefore you need to replace "/output.txt" and "/docs" with "/c/output.txt" and "/c/docs".
