I want to create 25 different folders with specific names into one particular folder. I know how to create a folder with subfolders but not with multiple folder names in an iterating batch or command prompt loop.

Example: root\sound\weapons\ak,m4,m1,m45,m9, etc.

How can I array or loop iterate such a task with batch logic?

  • Do you mean you want 25 folders under root\sound\weapons\ ? Do the different folders have a sequence name or is there a list of names?

How to create folders in one folder with batch

Hello i want to create 25 folders with names into one folder. example: root\sound\weapons\ak,m4,m1,m45,m9 etc.

I know how to create a folder with sub folders but not with multiple folders.

How i can array with batch.

Command Prompt Copy and Paste

FOR %A IN (ak,m4,m1,m45,m9) DO MD "root\sound\weapons\%~A"

Batch Script

FOR %%A IN (ak,m4,m1,m45,m9) DO MD "root\sound\weapons\%%~A"

Notes: In the logic part above where you see IN (ak,m4,m1,m45,m9) you will put the folder names in there separated by commas which you want to create. The root\sound\weapons\ could also be C:\Path\Path\ or something like that as well.

  • In %~A the ~ is not needed, you can just use %A (The ~ is only required if there are quotes in the variable %A that need to be removed). See parameters](ss64.com/nt/syntax-args.html)

  • @DavidPostill I typically always try to keep the tilde in there in case there is other logic where double-quotes are around some other variable where that ~ parses the double quotes out so that's really just out of habit but it still works with or without it regardless but I agree in this particular instance it is not needed but it will still work with it -- strictly a habit thing I use as a standard typically as not having it has got me more than having it.
