Using a for loop to make unlimited folders

[BatchFileCommand]

No, with this I don't use labels. I do this.

Code: [Select]

if  %question%==1 (
mkdir %foldername%
)
if %question%==2 (
mkdir %foldername%
mkdir %foldername%
)


and so on. I don't use goto in this situation.

And I still want to know why you need to make so many folders

It's not like I'm actually going to make hundreds of folders.  I never even said I was going to make hundreds of folders. So will you just cool it.

I see sarcasm is wasted on you, BatchFileCommand. By the way, leave the attitude at the door in future, OK?

[computeruler]

You mean the home page?

[BatchRocks]

And why would you need something like this?  More computer pranks?

This is quite far from computer pranks. Think before you speak. This is so you don't have to spend
you time making a menu to ask how many folders you want to make.

*WINK* Of course this isn't a 'prank'. I know the use for it, but, why is making a folder a "prank".

Stop being nosy, something can be hidden but useful, and not wanted to be public...

[BatchFileCommand]

Oh. I also used the same strategy to move folders.

heh, strategy. Like it's some complicared algorithm involving balanced binary trees, when in fact it's just reinventing the wheel.

Although I suppose the creation of useless programs early on is one way of getting better. I still remember my first batch program. MENU.BAT, some ridiculous startup program for DOS that displayed a menu to the user. Absolutely zero vaue to anybody, which is where I think it strikes a parallel here.

[BatchFileCommand]

Strategy doesn't have to be complicated at all.

If you want to hide something.... RAR file with a password

neither does making folders...

[BatchFileCommand]

Exactly.

If you want to hide something.... RAR file with a password

What is the point of telling me that. If I want to hide something.

Code: [Select]

attrib "folder" +h +r

That is literally the most naive thing I have ever seen on this forum.

[BatchFileCommand]

No, it's not. Why would I put compress something to RAR, if you use the folder or file frequently a password would be roadkill.

So, you just click, do not show hidden folders. This is on your own computer isn't it?

[Dias de verano]

If you hide something with attrib, who are you hiding it from? Not yourself. That would be silly. Somebody else therefore. Who can click "show hidden files and folders" and see all your goat porn.
