Program to create new folders

[Doot]

Hi, is there a small program that will make say 100 new folders in one go.

Thanks Doot

Can probably do it at a command/dos prompt faster than windows.

md C:\Test (create a folder called test)
cd test (change to that folder)

md first
md second
md third
md fourth

or you could write a batch file to do it, but it would take about as much writing as doing it by hand. for something like that, I wouldn't use the windows shell though, far too slow.

You could wright it faster with notepad as a batch because you could use ctrl-c ctrl-v

Dim objFSO
Dim iCount

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

For iCount = 1 to 100
  objFSO.CreateFolder "C:\Temp\FolderName" & iCount

Next

Set objFSO = Nothing

Cut and paste that into a text file (DO NOT Save with MS Word!!! It will NOT work, use notepad!) and save it as stuff.vbs (the actual filename is not important, just make sure it has a .vbs extension)

You can edit the filename and folder but dont' edit the syntax.

Hope it helps

(change the 100 to however many folders you desire)

[vass0922]

Pyro that will do nothing because you're creating the same folder over and over and over


---- edit ---

are you crazy, that will nest the folders DEEP.. not sure what the limit of the filesystem is but that is probably stretching it a bit and not sure how useful that would actually be.

Thanks all, what I needed was say 30 new folders in the same directory 001 to 030. I can allways make a batch file in notepad and just change the folder that it starts in.

Thanks Doot

[vass0922]

Then change the script I wrote above 1 To 30..
It will create 30 folders in whatever folder you scecify 1 to 30
Folder1
Folder2
Folder3
....
Folder30 ...

So Vass, what then, just double click the *.vbs file and it will make X number of folders in the directory that file is located in?
