Total Commander

Hello all,

I'm new to this forum, but not new to Total Commander.

Wanted to hear some comments about a suggestion I have regarding the possibility to easily create multiple directories.

Example:

A user wants to create several individual directories, that shares the same name, only differentiated by numbers.

I.e...

<directoryname>01
<directoryname>02
<directoryname>03
etc...

I believe such a function could actually be useful.

It is already possible to create multiple directories (just separate their names using pipe | symbol) but parameters handling could be even better.

Maybe some external tool can do it?

This feature may be easilly realised with external tool which may be run from TC toolbar or menu. I suggest to search for such tool.

This batch solution looks promising: http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=20486#20486
A little update to support spaces in the dir names:

Code: Select all

@echo off
:: Help
:: TC_MakeMultipleDirs.cmd <target dir> <name> <start_num> <end_num>

for /L %%N in (%3,1,%4) do md "%~1\%~2-%%N"

Save as TC_MakeMultipleDirs.cmd and define a button etc. like this, creating dirs in current directory:

Code: Select all

Command   : %comspec% /c TC_MakeMultipleDirs.cmd
Parameters: ? . "dirname" 01 10

Works quite well here. I just can't find a solution for leading zeros right now.
