Batch folder creation

Post by zer0 »

On a semi-frequent basis, I have a need to create a bunch of child folders that follow the following structure: "<BlahBlahBlah> ##" (where ## is a series of sequential numbers).

Currently, I have to create each folder one at a time. What would be great to shortcut the process is for Edit > New > New Folders to take in the following command -- like "BlahBlahBlah [##-##]" -- and create a sequence of folders with numbers beginning with the first ## and ending with the second ##. Yes, there is a probably a script that can loop through and do the same, but that New Folders menu seems such a logical place to add that functionality.

I have also had this situation and have used a text editor which can add sequenced numbers down a column.
Then copied to that input box.
So your post made me have a rethink.
I regularly use a script I found, (after I had posted a poor imitation) created by TheQwerty » 09 Mar 2012.

I have altered it to create folders instead.

Not tested with spaces or dots

This has me thinking could it be done for files as well?? I have had that situation with files,when testing.
