Load additional files after multiple file load

Hello, 

I am trying to load additional files after I have already loaded files and put them in corresponding folders. Here is the full code for my function:

Function/S DoLoadMultipleFiles()
    Variable refNum
    string/g outputPaths
    String fileFilters = "Data Files (*.txt):.txt;"
    fileFilters += "All Files:.*;"
    Open /D /R /MULT=1 /F=fileFilters refNum
    outputPaths += S_fileName
    if (strlen(outputPaths) == 0)
        Print "Cancelled"
    else
        Variable numFilesSelected = ItemsInList(outputPaths, "\r")
        Variable i
        for(i=0; i<numFilesSelected; i+=1)
            String path = StringFromList(i, outputPaths, "\r")
            String DataFldrName = ParseFilePath(3, path, ":", 0, 0)  
            if (datafolderexists("root:$DataFldrName") == 1)
               Print "Datafolder already exists"
            else
               NewDataFolder/S root:$DataFldrName //
               Printf "%d: %s\r", i, path
               LoadWave/A/D/J/W/K=0/V={"\t"," $",0,0}/L={0,2,0,0,0} path
               setdatafolder root:
            endif
        endfor
    endif
End

Unfortunately, I have issues with the if command, or more specifically with the datafolderexists command.

if (datafolderexists("root:$DataFldrName") == 1)

The datafolderexists command always returns a 0. However in the else-command, when I am trying to create a new folder, it gives me the error that "A data folder of that name already exists at this level". So in the datafolderexists command, it does not know that the data folder exists, but shortly after, it does?! Could anyone please help? Thank you!

Just looking quickly, I think you need

String fldrString = "root:"+DataFldrName
if (datafolderexists(fldrString) == 1)

It needs a string but you are passing everything including the dollar as a string. DataFolderExists doesn't find it (because there isn't a folder literally called $DataFldrName).
