Finished Programs / Re: DONE: make folder set out of a txt file
« on: May 28, 2020, 05:21 PM »
This is a great little utility and has been very helpful.
I am creating folders from 2 types of text files. One is set up with returns separating each folder name; the other is a list with commas separating the desired folder names.
For the second type - I have to open as CSV in excel and transpose. Then save and use. It does not take long, but...
It seems like it it would be a easy option to add, as commas are commonly uses as separators. This may be useful to others as well.

A note on the send to function in Windows 10 (latest update) it places the path\file name in the root folder not in the text file box. I'm not sure if this really the intended operation. It would be nice if both fields were filled out... or only the text file field.
Now I copy and paste the text; then delete the file name from the root folder field.
Thanks again for the time saving utility - very helpful.
