Create three level of directories

Question

I need to make three levels of folders each numbered 0-9 so that I can access files/1/2/3/123456.jpg

mkdir {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0}/{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0}/{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0} 

doesn't work.

I don't have SSH access to this Linux web server, so how would I go about doing this in Windows?

Answer 1

I think the mkdir command above can be simulated with a .bat-file. It's been a while since I last had to write .bat-files and I don't have any windows machine to test it on, but something like this should work (may need tweaking):

for /L %%f in (0,1,9) do (
  md %%f
  cd %%f
  for /L %%g in (0,1,9) do (
    md %%g
    cd %%g
    for /L %%h in (0,1,9) do (
      md %%h
    )
    cd ..
  )
  cd ..
)

As suggested by grawity, it can also be written like this since "md" should work like "mkdir -p":

for /L %%f in (0,1,9) do (
  for /L %%g in (0,1,9) do (
    for /L %%h in (0,1,9) do (
      md %%f/%%g/%%h
    )
  )
)

Or you could start working on a linux box instead, where everything is so much easier. ;)

Answer 2

It is not clear from your question if you can execute commands on the remote server; if you can, add the -p switch to mkdir command to make it work.

$ mkdir -p {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0}/{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0}/{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0}
