Hi Rajesh,

mkdir -p can be useful. Please have a look at mkdir man page:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90689/mkdir.1.html

Hope this helps.

Regards,

hi,

for example :

mkdir /test/{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

>> mkdir /test/{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

mikap,

A fine suggestion.
Thank you for reminding us of that.
You may have been too enthusiastic though.
Most probably do NOT want those 10's in there, but just zeroes.

For example: mkdir /test/{0..9}{0..9}

myself, I prefer a full prinf function to construct names as I like them.
For example using perl:

# perl -e 'for (1..150) { $x = sprintf "test_%03d", $_; mkdir $x }'

cheers,
Hein

I'm not aware of this syntax working in a real shell?
You would have to use a while with typeset for leading zeros. Or create a file with your unique pattern of directory names.

Rajesh,

Here it is:

- To create:
# perl -e 'while ($i++<150){system "mkdir test$i"}'



- To check:
# find . -type d -name "test*" | wc -l
150


Enjoy, Have fun!,
Raj.

Hmm,
Why would use 'system' to launch a command, when a direct call is available, as I showed in my earlier alternative solution?

Using the 'system' step will be less efficient and has reduced error handling.

fwiw,
Hein
