I try the code like below ,
 it makes a directory  if it  is not present on the SD cart , but it would not write the file into this directory

can somebody help me  with this? 


 

if(SD_OK)
 {
          int  y = year()-2000;
       
          char dir[5];
          char fileName[20];
          int fileCounter=0;
   
          sprintf(dir,"%04d",year());   //directory naam : 2013/
   
          if (!SD.exists(dir))    
          {
               SD.mkdir(dir);
          }
   
          do
          {
               fileCounter++;
               sprintf(fileName,"%02d%02d%02d_%01d.csv",y,month(),day(),fileCounter);          
          }
          while (SD.exists((dir,fileName)) && fileCounter<9);            //if file in directory exist  and counter<9 generate new name                            
          logFile = SD.open((dir,fileName), O_CREAT | O_WRITE);  //open file in directory

You combine a dir and a filename.
But this "SD.exists((" and "SD.open((" have double parentheses, that is very weird. Are you used with another programming language ?

Please read how to use them:

You could make a buffer and use strcat() to create the full filename with path. You have to use a '/' between them. I checked my code, and I have something like this: "/ARDUINO/LOG.TXT"

(dir,fileName)

The comma operator returns the last item in the list. The dir part of what is in the parentheses is ignored. (dir,fileName) is identical to fileName.

It is NOT how you define which directory to create the file in.
