Adding folders to multiple directories
I think this is one of my first threads, so apologies if I do anything to annoy anyone.
I need to add a folder called "Photos" to about 4000 individual folders.
Would a C program be an appropriate solution to speed this up, or is it unnecessarily complicated and is there a simplier plan I'm missing.
Any help would be useful.
Thanks
Potentially, this is very easy. My innate wariness of a simple task like this leads me to ask for more information. Where are these 4000 folders/directories? Are they on the local machine? Are they in a simple directory tree? Are they listed in a file?
To create a directory within another, you simply use the CreateDirectory() API routine.
I remember answering a question very like this on another board where the basic idea was simplicity itself, but the questioner wrapped it up in an almost impossible UI.

Thanks for your reply, although I too, once I thought about it, realised it should be simple. Plus my housemate (that is Iain for you regular users) has been recently working alot with Visual Basic and has written a solution for me. He is not impressed I mentioned his Visual Basic programming on here, so I add that he is on an industrial placement and is forced to use it.
If you still want details of the problem just for clarification then :-
There is about 4000 folders numbered with 4 digits, although every combination isn't present. In each I need a folder called "Photo" added (and possibly others, but that is just an extension of the main problem).
i.e. C:\Jobs 1000 - 2000\1001
C:\Jobs 4001 - 5000\4673 etc.
