Solve : Creating Directories & Subdirectories at once?

1.	Solve : Creating Directories & Subdirectories at once?
Answer» Hello, I would like to know how to create a tree consisting of directories and subdirectories using ONE command instead of MKDIR and using cd to GO in and create them individually. example mkdir A B C D would create the directories is there a way to create sub directories in one command line A B C D folders Within A there's filea fileb filec Within B there's filed filee filef etc Thanks Quote from: Reta on DECEMBER 15, 2010, 08:33:20 PM Hello, I would like to know how to create a tree consisting of directories and subdirectories using one command instead of mkdir and using cd to go in and create them individually. example mkdir A B C D would create the directories is ther a way to create sub directories in one command line A B C D folders Within A there's filea fileb filec Within B there's filed filee filef etc Thanks I will make a guess at what your want. Once we know what you want, it is easy. Let';s suppose that yew want any umber of directories from the root with names that have no special chars or spaces. Likewise for sub directories. But sub dirs are created across all the root directories. With the given names. And each sub dir can have a number of empty TXT files with given names. Repeated inn each sub directory. Is that close?

Hello, I would like to know how to create a tree consisting of directories and subdirectories using ONE command instead of MKDIR and using cd to GO in and create them individually.

example

mkdir A B C D would create the directories

is there a way to create sub directories in one command line

A B C D folders

Within A there's filea fileb filec

Within B there's filed filee filef

etc

Thanks Quote from: Reta on DECEMBER 15, 2010, 08:33:20 PM
