Script: Save image files in different subfolders - Photoshop

I am trying to write a script for Photoshop.
It has to turn an existing image file, into 7 different sized (resolution) images.
So far that works.
And now it saves them with 7 different file-names (I can controll the suffix).

But what I want is that it saves the files all with the same filenames in different (correspondent) folders, (instead of different suffix in the filename).
That last part I cant get to work.
Can anyone help me so that the script will save the files in subfolders, one for every resolution/sized file? (and perhaps even create them if they do not exist).

Edit:
If I add this part in the code, this will create a subfolder for me.
But it will not save any file into it.
Please help 🙂

 //try{
  var f = new Folder( folder+'/50x50' );
  if( !f.exists ) f.create();
  return f; }catch(e){};

Thanks a lot.

// Setup  
doc = app.activeDocument;   

function saveForWeb(f, width, height, fileSuffix) {  
var originalRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;  
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;  
var basename = doc.name.match(/(.*).[^.]+$/)[1];  
var thePercentage = width / doc.width * 100;  
var theFile = basename + f + fileSuffix + ".jpg";

I have no idea what all your complicated script is trying to achieve, but it is pretty simple to save a file for web like this:
```
    // Set up our web export options    
    var options = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
    options.quality = 100;
    options.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;
    options.includeprofile=true;
    activeDocument.exportDocument(tmpFile,ExportType.SAVEFORWEB,options);
```
Or, if you want multiple resolutions, put the above in a loop. There is an example here.
