    file creation (folder) help

    This subject is probably simple to the readers, but I must be having one
    hell of a mental block cause I am beating my head against a wall.

    I need to create a simple folder tree that is about 3 levels deep and about
    50 folders wide. The file (folder) names will have spaces in them, so if I
    try to make a batch (.bat) file to use the mkdir command, I create a folder
    for each word in the string..... not the desired output.

    help point me in the right direction.....

    - Bob

      Put quotes around each folder name.
      e.g.,
      mkdir "this is a test"

          Sure. Since standard C++ knows not of folders (or mkdir for that
          matter), you should ask in a forum dedicated to the platform on which
          you're working.

              [oops] Re: file creation (folder) help

              Oops, sorry to add my response to a thread that knows not of mkdir. (I
              just joined ~a week ago.) I should've responded directly to the sender
              in this case... (question seemed innocent enough)
