General Software Discussion / Need a recursive utility
« on: May 27, 2021, 05:35 PM »
Hey there folks. I'm in need of a utility that can either:
1) allow me to execute a standard DOS/CMD command in every sub-directory of a particular folder
or
2) create a 0-byte file in every sub-directory of a particular folder, all with the same name of my choice.
Way back in the day of Windows 95 and MS-DOS, I had a tool that would do option #1, but it seems those older 16-bit tools don't work in Windows 10. I've tried the FOR /R tool, but it doesn't seem to be able to create files, only manipulate existing files which is no help.
Does anyone know where I could find a tool like that? *** or *** could someone here write a utility that will do that?
Thanks for reading! Please let me know if you have any thoughts of an existing tool, or if creating one is possible.
