Thanx a bunch Edwin From www.Medsofoto.nlHello 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.  make_clients.zip (0.27 KB - downloaded 861 times.) |

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.  |

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. And may be improved with the possibility to create folders and subfolders. Two levels is enough. You can already do this. Simply make your text file like this: Folder1\Subfolder1\SubSubfolder1 Folder2 Folder3\Subfolder3 ... |

@ScanCode, the batch file you posted. Where does it create the folder structure.
I mean if I have the text fie and the batch file in this folder eg
C:\test folder
will it create the folder structure inside this test folder or on the root drive?
