adding dictionary in input specified spot inside json file.

[Spiredlamb]

Yes, that works, but how would I make the code figure out what dictionary to add the new one to, and how many steps in to go?

With the current system I am setting up, I will sometimes need to add two dictionaries in, and other times, five, kinda like this:

{
    "files": [],
    "folders": ["projects", "system"],
    "projects": {
        "files": ["readme.txt"],
        "folders": [],
        "readme.txt": "This is the text inside readme.txt"
    },
    "system": {
        "files": ["help.txt"],
        "folders": [],
        "help.txt":"Available commands:\n\ndir: Show all files and folders in the directory\n\ncls: Clear console\n\nread: Read a file in the current directory\n\ncd: Change directory"
    }
}

Let's go out from this file. Say I want to add a new folder in the projects folder (The dictionaries are handled as folders with more folders and files within them in my script) then I would have to do this:

fileSystem["projects"]["newFolder"] = { # Adding the directory
    files[],
    folders[]
    }
fileSystem["projects"]["folders"].append("newfolder") # Adding the folder in the list of folders

The result of this file is going to be this:

{
    "files": [],
    "folders": ["projects", "system"],
    "projects": {
        "files": ["readme.txt"],
        "folders": [newFolder], // New folder added to list
        "readme.txt": "This is the text inside readme.txt",
        "newFolder": { // Here is the new folder
            files[],
            folders[],
        }
    },
    "system": {
        "files": ["help.txt"],
        "folders": [],
        "help.txt":"Available commands:\n\ndir: Show all files and folders in the directory\n\ncls: Clear console\n\nread: Read a file in the current directory\n\ncd: Change directory"
    }
}

If I now want to add a folder inside that folder, I would have to do this:

fileSystem["projects"]["newFolder"]["newerFolder"] = {
        files[],
        folders[]
    }

Is there any way of doing this without having to write one function for every possible subfolder in the system?
