Hi there.

I am attempting to use a batch file to automatically create incremented folders in a subdirectory based on the last folder name in the subfolder.

eg.
I have a folder called C:\Data and it has subfolders called v01, v02, v03, v04 etc
What I want to do look in C:\Data and create a subfolder that is +1 from the previously created folder.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.Something like this may work on your MACHINE:

Code: [Select]@echo off
for /l %%x in (1,1,9) do (
if not exist c:\data\nul (md c:\data\v0%%x & goto :eof)
)
for /l %%x in (10,1,10000) do (
if not exist c:\data\nul (md c:\data\v%%x & goto :eof)
)

The range of the code is 1 to 10,000. Feel free to CHANGE it.


Fantastic, thanks for that Sidewinder.

Now would you know how to incorporate the newly created folder into a SET variable so that I can then use this new folder to COPY my files into.

Currently I manually change the variable that I have each time I create a new folder. I am using -

SET Dump=C:\Data\v01 :: I then change this to v02, v03, v04 etc, you get the picture.

Once again thanks for the help.Code: [Select]@echo off
for /l %%x in (1,1,9) do (
if not exist c:\data\v0%%x\nul (
set Dump=c:\data\v0%%x
md c:\data\v0%%x
goto next
)
)
for /l %%x in (10,1,10000) do (
if not exist c:\data\v%%x\nul (
set Dump=c:\data\v%%x
md c:\data\v%%x
goto next
)
)
:next

The internal label should make it easier to incorporate the snippet into your own code.

Perfect. Does exactly what I wanted it to do.

Thanks again
