Is there a software designed to make a set of subfolders
in a tree of folder?

I mean, I have f eks ten folders named 1 through 10.
Under each there is many subfolders named A through Z

Is there a snappy way to make a set of subfolders to each
of these 260 folders?


Hei Zadig (ikke akkurat et standard norsk navn må jeg si :-)

You can use a VBScript for this. Put the script below in a file with
a .vbs extension, and run it by double clicking on it.

You need to adjust the data in the two variables sBaseFolder and
aNewFolders .


'--------------------8<----------------------
' Script that will populate a folder structure with a set
' of new folders
'


' Define the base folder path
' (the one containing the folders named 1 through 10)
sBaseFolder = "C:\some1\some2"

' list all new folders to be created here
aNewFolders = Array("new1", "new2", "new3")

Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

On Error Resume Next
For i = 1 To 10
  For n = Asc("A") To Asc("Z")
    sFolder = sBaseFolder & "\" & i & "\" & Chr(n)
    If oFSO.FolderExists(sFolder) Then
      For Each sNewFolder In aNewFolders
        oFSO.CreateFolder sFolder & "\" & sNewFolder
      Next
    End If
  Next
Next

MsgBox "Finished!", vbInformation + vbSystemModal, "Populate folders"
