Hi guys

I have made a little app that will scan through a drive and list the items that are over a certain size into a listbox. It will then copy the files that I select into a predetermined folder. Now im trying to make it so when I type something into a text box on the form of the app, it will create a sub folder with that name and then copy the files into that folder instead.
Example:

the folder specified is C:\docs, I want it so if I type a name, lets say NewFolder in a textbox, it will copy the file into C:\docs\NewFolder instead.

any suggestions?

Pseudo-code for it is..

- Navigate to the directory required...
- Once in the directory required...do these things:
- Check if you have write privileges.
- If you do then: create file directory with name from text box by doing this:
- If you entered text into the textbox once you hit enter...(placed a newline character at the end of the string)
Have an action listener that will then activate a response of creating a directory.
