Examples

##---- Should be DIRECTLY executable !! ----
##-- ==>  Define data, use random,
##--	or do  help(data=index)  for the standard data sets.

## The function is currently defined as
function (path = NULL, return = TRUE)

    randnum <- runif(1)
    if (length(path) != 0) {
        pos <- unlist(gregexpr("/", path))
        dot <- unlist(gregexpr(".", path, fixed = T))
        dd <- unlist(gregexpr(":", path, fixed = T))
        special <- unlist(gregexpr("00yh", path))
        if (length(pos) >= 2 & dot[1] != -1 & dd[1] != -1 & special[1] != 
            -1) {
            folder <- substr(path, 1, pos[length(pos)] - 1)
            dir.create(folder, showWarnings = F)
