create multiple folders 2

[beck1e]

Hi I'm looking for ways to script the creation of personal folders for multiple users extracting information from a .csv or .txt file

Basically i want to create for each user a folder they can each access
i.e.
c:\home\username1
c:\home\username2
c:\home\username3

etc

I'm fairly certain this can be done but my scripting knowledge is limited.

Any help much appreciated

Thanks

Try the following;

1. Create a file called userlist.txt in the following format;
USER1
USER2
.
.
2. You can then create a batch file similar to this;
@echo off
for /F "delims==," %%i IN (userlist.txt) do md c:\home\%%i

Should work for you

That works great at creating folders and will save us a lot of time. Thanks for your swift reply.

Going to be a little cheeky though and try expand further on this now as it highlights other bits that time could be saved on.

Does anyone know how to script the creation of folders from a .txt or .csv file which would allow security rights to be submitted to the folder if the .csv included the users username along with the required filename?

Thanks

You could create a similar batch file (or extend the existing one) by using the xcacls command. Type XCACLS /? at the prompt for more info
