General Software Discussion / I need help creating a new Directory structure including files from a text file.
« on: July 17, 2016, 10:41 PM »
I need help in creating a batch file or similar that will make a Folder/Sub Folder structure and add the relative files to these new locations.
Below is a text file representing a small part of the structure that I wish to create.
The first comma delimiter represents the Folder and Sub Folders that I wish to create under a top level Folder called DATABASE DATA.
The second comma delimiter represents the name of the actual File.
The third comma delimiter represents the location of the files to import into the new Folder structure.
