Hi,

I still have a problem.
The routine is now following

PUBLIC SUB makedirs(sHak AS String)
DIM haks AS NEW String[300]
DIM hak2 AS String
DIM crtdir AS String

crtdir = "/home/kari/backup_work/cdroot/"
  haks = Split(sHak, "/")
  FOR EACH hak2 IN haks
      IF hak2 = "" THEN CONTINUE

    crtdir = crtdir &/ hak2
    'SHELL "mkdir  " & crtdir
    'TRY MKDIR crtdir
    SHELL "mkdir  " & crtdir WAIT

    'PRINT crtdir
  NEXT

END

----------------------------------

and I get output

I will run more tests but I am pretty much lost with this problem.
