The script below creates a directory based on date and hour:
' On C:\, we suppose that the directory paul is there.

' As an example, we retrieve the AA subdirectory name and under AA, we create
' a subdirectory c:\paul\AA\AA-date-hour

dim tabshortname$(10)
dim tabpath$(10)
dim tabattrib$(10)
number_of_files = DirTree("c:\\paul\\*.*", tablongname$(), tabshortname$(), tabpath$(), tabattrib$(), "N")
cdate$ = month$() + day$() + "03"
ctime$ = hour$() + min$()
i = 0
MkDir("c:\\paul\\" + tablongname$(i) + "\\" + tablongname$(i) + "-" + cdate$ + "-" + ctime$)
