Thanks in advance for the answers. I have my function here, I would like when I hit the stage of the elif msg == 2...when the user inputs anything else other than the available options (a or b) then he gets prompt back to choose the appropriate option (In other words, I give the hand again and ask the user where to store the subfolder)...instead it does prompt back at the beginning of the code... msg = input("What do you want to create?: " " Insert 1 for Folder " " Insert 2 for Subfolder. ") ...Thanks
