Overview
The Create Multiple Folders From Text File Software offers a timely way in which a user may create many folders in a batch process. This can save many hours, by creating all of the folders you need with the touch of a button, rather than creating them one at a time from Windows explorer. Simply provide the name of a file or files that contain full pathnames of folder to be created and press a button to start the creation process.

File Format
The files that are added to the Text Files list must be plain ASCII text files that contain the full pathname for the folders to be created. These pathnames must appear in the file, one per line. The following is a well formatted file:
C:\test\folder1
C:\test\folder2
C:\test\folder3
Using a file with this content would result in the creation of three subfolders called folder1, folder2 and folder3 in a folder called test in the root directory of C:
Adding Files To The List
There are multiple methods for adding filenames to the Text File list. They include:
· Drag and Drop Filenames
· Add Text File(s)
· Add All Text File(s) In Folder
In each of these cases the selected filename(s) are added to the Text Files list at the top of the Main Screen.
Drag And Drop Filenames
The user may click and hold the left mouse button on a desired file in Windows Explorer and drag it over to the Text Files list on the Main Screen. Releasing the button while hovering over the list will result in the full filename being added to the list.
Select Individual Files From
a Folder
The user may select one or many files individually from a single folder to add to the Text Files list on the Main Screen. To do this the user would select the Add Text File(s) button on the Main Screen. Doing so will display the following dialog:
A single filename may be selected by clicking on it. Multiple file names may be selected by holding the CTRL key down while clicking on filenames. A range of filenames may be selected by clicking on the first filename in the range and then holding the SHIFT key down while clicking the last filename in the range. To close the dialog and have all of the selected filenames written to the Text Files list on the Main Screen press the Open button. To close the dialog without writing any new filenames to the list, press the Cancel button.
Add All Files In Folder
The user may add all of the files in a folder to the Text Files list on the Main Screen by pressing the Add All Text File(s) In Folder button on the Main Screen. This will display the dialog shown below:
The user simply navigates to the directory containing the text files to be added and presses the OK button to close the dialog and add the full names of all of the files within the selected folder to the list. To close the dialog without adding any filenames the user would press the Cancel button.
Removing Filenames
To remove a
single filename from the Text Files list on the Main Screen, the user
simply double clicks on the entry. To remove all filenames from the Text Files
list press the Clear button.
Create the Folders
Once all of the
files containing pathnames have been added to the Text Files list, the user may
begin the creation process by pressing the “Start Creating Folders” button. The application will create a folder for each
of the paths described in each of the text files provided. Completion of the process is marked by the
display of the following dialog:
