Create multiple folders from Terminal
Authored by: osxpounder on Apr 26, '06 12:36:26PM

Bob: your kind offer of an Applescript was appreciated. It didn't compile for me, though. It breaks at the $ sign, saying "Syntax error Expected end of line but found unknown token".

Create multiple folders from Terminal
Authored by: osxpounder on Apr 26, '06 12:46:50PM

I thought I found a typo or two, so I changed Bob's script a bit, but still no results. I changed the quotes around $dir to single quotes, and that allowed the script to compile, but it did nothing. I saved it as an app and dropped a plain text file, with names, one per line, on it.

I changed "mdir" to "mkdir", but that made no difference, either.
