Modify Folder Structure

[KRPGroup]

We have serveral thousand client folders that I need to add a subfolder with the same name. eg "Prev Yr"
Is there a way to add a folder if not already present under every "Clientxx" folder?

Before
A
Client01
Client02
B
Client01
Client02
Z


After
A
Client01
Prev Yr
Client02
Prev Yr
B
Client01
Prev Yr
Client02
Prev Yr
Z

If your file structure is as consistant and sequential as you have described, you could use a batch file to loop through the directory and at the specified intervals do a MD Prev Yr command. If not, well...

Can you give me some direction on where I could find some expample of the script. I am not sure on how to loop and have it go through all the folders from a specific point down.

This site has excellant examples of using batch commands. Look at FOR, IF, ERRORLEVEL, GOTO

I would use the ErrorLevel so that you don't have to count to 1000 or so every iteration of clientxxx.

Hope this helps,
David.
