How to create multiple folders at once? 1..50

[Lenry]

I know if I write for e.g. folder1|folder2|folder3 into the New Folder dialog TC creates three folders named folder1, folder2 and folder3. That's great.

Is there a regexp for a range of naming them? So if I need 50 folders, can I just write folder{1-50} and TC would create them named folder1, folder2, etc to folder50, or something like that?

Thank you

No there isn't, and it cannot be added that easily because "folder{1-50}" is actually a valid folder name.

You may try extDir utility.

For such tasks have a button, opening PowerShell with current dir as path:

CMD: PowerShell -NoProfile -NoExit
PARAM:
START:
ICON: powershell.exe
TOOLTIP: Launch PS in current dir


Now go to your "main" folder,
execute that button to open PowerShell and type


1..50 | ForEach-Object{ New-Item -Path $_ -ItemType directory }


Or in short:
1..50|%{MD $_}

1
2
3
...
50


Or formated to two digits and with Name "Test_":
1..50|%{ MD("Test_{0:D2}" -f $_) }


01
02
03
...
50



Or create hundred files, formated to three digits:
1..100|%{New-Item ("Test_{0:D3}.txt" -f $_) -Itemtype file}


001
002
003
...
050

That feature is now built-in



Total Commander 9.10; 2017

Added:

Create directory (F7), create a range of numbered directories:

[C] placeholder takes same options as in multi-rename tool,

e.g. <1-20>[C10+5:3] create 20 folders, starts at 10, steps by 5, uses 3 digits width
010
015
020
025
...

e.g. <5-10>test[C] creates folders test05, test06, test07, test08, test09, test10.
The number of digits is determined by the highest number, but can be set via parameter, e.g. [C:2]


e.g. <1-50>Folder [C]-Test
Folder 1-Test
Folder 2-Test
...
Folder 12-Test
Folder 13-Test
---
Folder 24-Test
...
Folder 50-Test



e.g. <1-50>Folder [C:2]-Test
Folder 01-Test
Folder 02-Test
...
Folder 12-Test
Folder 13-Test
---
Folder 24-Test
...
Folder 50-Test



e.g. <1-50>Folder [C:3]-Test
Folder 001-Test
Folder 002-Test
...
Folder 012-Test
Folder 013-Test
---
Folder 024-Test
...
Folder 050-Test
