Hi i am TRYING to create a batch script that will create a directory named test_XX where XX is a incremental number starting from 01.

eg. test_01 and then test_02, and if they exist it will just increment right up to test_100

CHeers!

try this

@ECHO OFF
:HSF0
echo 0>>%temp%\iss.txt
echo 1>>%temp%\iss.txt
echo 2>>%temp%\iss.txt
echo 3>>%temp%\iss.txt
echo 4>>%temp%\iss.txt

Thanks for that, i was looking to create directories and after looking around i found the following method that worked for me (see below)

Now i need one more feature and that is for all the existing files in the current directory to be copied to the new directory that is created from the script below...any ideas?

for /l %%x in (1,1,9) do (
if not exist folder_0%%x\nul (
set Dump=folder_0%%x
md folder_0%%x
goto next
)
)
:: create folder versions 10 through to 99
for /l %%x in (10,1,99) do (
if not exist folder_%%x\nul (
set Dump=folder_%%x
md folder_%%x
goto next
)
)
:next
Includes more compact way to create dirs sequentially numbered from 1 to 100 with number padded to 3 figures

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
FOR /L %%N IN (1,1,100) DO (
IF %%N EQU 100 set pad=
IF %%N LEQ 99 set pad=0
IF %%N LEQ 9 set pad=!pad!0
if not exist folder_!pad!%%N mkdir folder_!pad!%%N
copy *.* folder_!pad!%%N
)
