Hello there.
Let's say you have a file called clients.txt with the following contents

Albert\Birthday
Albert\Wedding
John\Daughter\Birthday
John\Sister\Wedding
Martin
Michael
John Doe

the console command

for /f "delims=" %t IN (clients.txt) do mkdir "%t"

will create the following folder structure, without needing an external program



Have fun, and welcome to the forums!

Oh, in case the command line scares you, here's a little batch file.
Just drop it where your clients.txt file lays, and double click it.

Slick batch command, scancode.  Nice.

reddie247, if the commandline isn't your thing, I've whipped together an AHK script with a GUI if you're interested.

Skwire, I'd be very interested in the AHK script, can you post it?

Thanks!

I use a similar program to create folders and subfolders inside a folder.
The script from Skwire is splendid and may be improved to the eleventh desire. Simply controlling an historial of the last text files and the last root folders used with a dropdownlist for the two options controlled by an ini file.
Very useful to organize matters or incidents according to patterns in the text files.

And may be improved with the possibility to create folders and subfolders. Two levels is enough. And a new window in the gui main windows of the program.

I'll consider adding this.

You can already do this.  Simply make your text file like this:

Folder1\Subfolder1\SubSubfolder1
Folder2
Folder3\Subfolder3
...

Perfect then. I'll apply in this way. Is better than two text files.
