Make folders with different names

[kpropell]

Hi!

Is there a way to make a batch-script which makes you input the number of folders you want to make, then ask you for it's names and then generates them?

Ex:

How many folders?
3

Name of folder 1:
My Documents
Name of folder 2:
My Music
Name of folder 3:
My Pictures

Edit:
Or simply makes you make unlimited number of folders untill you input 'Done'?

This is the basics of doing it. But really have to add in some error checking for valid input.

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set /p num=Enter Number of Folders:
for /L %%G in (1,1,%num%) do (
     set /p folder=enter folder name:
     mkdir "!folder!"
)

Greetings Squashman!
That is a handy little script for quickly creating temp folders while testing code.

Hat tip!

You could use this and just press enter alone to end the loop:

Code: Select all

@echo off
:loop
     set "folder="
     set /p "folder=enter folder name: "
     if defined folder (
        mkdir "%folder%"
        goto :loop
       rem do not remove the rem 
     )

Greetings foxidrive,
I just put my hat back on!
Clever use of REM and yes I did try to replace it. Fail.

Thank you for the script. That's two 'keepers' in one day for me.

Later.

It works wonders! I liked the two different ways of doing it, so thank you both
