Mass Folder Creation - mkdir issues.. Help??
Posted: 13 Jan 2010 08:08
Hi everyone. Im new to this forum & scripting altogether. If possible i would praise for a little help regarding a mkdir issue i have.
Searching through the net i found a way to create multiple folders using a .txt file as a reference.
01. The .txt file's structure is as follows:
PDF and rest
misc tools
internet browsers
blah blah blah.. around 250 folders
No quotes, no anything. Just the name of the folder i want.
02. The batch file's structure is as follows
As follows:
@echo off
for /f %%1 in (way2.txt) do mkdir %%1
pause
The batch runs without any trouble creating the folders where i want them with only one issue.
Folder names containing "spaces" between them get created up until the space.
For example:
PDF and rest: created as PDF
misc Tools: created as misc
internet browsers: created as internet
i have tried "quotes", [brackets], 'single quotes' in the .txt file to wrap up words but no luck.
Pls.. any suggestions..
I have found an alternative way for this for those who are interested, again with a batch, a little help from the registry and the following link:

Interesting way i think even though you might have to rewrite the root folder's name a couple of times but it is still faster than "right click-new folder...."
Anywayzzz thanks in advance. Hope there is a solution!!!
