multiple directories with F7

[mrbeeye]

Sometimes I need to create couple of directories, for instance:
tmp1 tmp2 tmp3 ... tmp7.

It's quite boring to create them manually one after one.

Is there any way to create them at a time?
I mean something like F7 -> tmp1; tmp2; tmp3; tmp4; tmp5; tmp6; tmp7.

Maybe something like Multi-rename tool will be very helpful.

Using MS-DOS commands under Windows XP is little out of practise but obviously it can't be helped.

I thought Christian Ghisler may implement something to solve that.

Creating multiple directories at once (taken from another thread, can't remember which one):

1\..\2\..\3\..\4

will create four directories called 1, 2, 3 and 4. You can use a / instead of a \ as separator as well.

Cool!
You can do much more with this knowledge:
Create a directory: 'c:\LEVEL0\LEVEL1\LEVEL2\LEVEL3\'

Code: Select all

  c:|-LEVEL0
       |- LEVEL1
            |- LEVEL2
                 |-LEVEL3

and go into this directory'LEVEL3'.
then press [F7] and write "LEVEL4\..\..\LEVEL3a\..\LEVEL3b\..\..\LEVEL2a\..\..\LEVEL1a\..\LEVEL1b\..\..\LEVEL0a\LEVEL.1\..\LEVEL.2"
and press enter. You create a structure like this

Code: Select all

 c:|-level0
   |  |- LEVELl1
   |  |   |- LEVEL2
   |  |   |  |-LEVEL3
   |  |   |  |  |-LEVEL4
   |  |   |  |-LEVEL3a
   |  |   |  |-LEVEL3b
   |  |   |- LEVEL2a
   |  |-LEVEL1a   
   |  |-LEVEL1b
   |-LEVEL0a
       |-LEVEL.1
       |-LEVEL.2

Don't know what it is good for but you can do

And with command [F7] "..\D\..\E\..\F" while being in "C:\" you can create some additional hard disks if your C drive is out of space... So no need to buy additional HDDs anymore! Cool...

Great! It works perfectly

Very nice trick! How do you guys find such things? There should be a place where we could collect, sort and maintain tips&tricks like that. What do you think about doing that in WiKi or something similar?

Roman (aka Hacker) hosts a site for hits&tips but I always forget the link. Oh, and I always forget to bookmark it!

Can we have it again Roman?

Sounds good. Where can I get more information. I've heard about an addon for the Zope management system, but I prefer a php/mysql solution, because Zope is not provided by my webhoster. Is it possible?

I found what I was looking for: http://www.wakkawiki.com/WakkaWiki

Panos,
Well, I don't host it... Boofo does.

Lefteous' idea is really cool! But it seems that Sheepdog didn't got it yet completely. Applying Lefteous' idea consequently, Sheepdog's verbose example would simply look like this:

c:\LEVEL0\LEVEL1\LEVEL2\LEVEL3\LEVEL4\..\..\LEVEL3a\..\LEVEL3b\..\..\LEVEL2a\..\..\LEVEL1a\..\LEVEL1b\..\..\LEVEL0a\LEVEL.1\..\LEVEL.2

At least you make your contribution to the project!
