Re: Problem creating directories in TFile

Hi James!

This sets gDirectory = file.

This makes the previous line superfluous by setting gDirectory to file:/Dir1.

This tells file to create a new subdirectory, which will of course be file:/Dir2. Should you have used gDirectory->mkdir("Dir2") that would have been different.

> file->cd("Dir2");

This sets gDirectory to file:/Dir2

I don't see anything wrong here...

Ciao,
