OneDrive - File Folders

[Heather Reetz]

Is there a way to import a list of folder names?

I have a long list of folder names.  Is there any way that I can use the list to create the folders so I don't have to create them one at a time.

This can be done a million ways, but easiest with Powershell. Have you used it at all? What are you attempting to do?

I have not used it at all.  I found it, looks like DOS.  I've used DOS, but it's been many years.

I have a spreadsheet with two lists.  One has 419, one 174.  We need a folder for each item on each list.  Quick search seems to point me to save as a csv file first.

Then it shows this script:
$folder = "D:\Test\"
$name = Import-Csv D:\Test\Test.csv
Foreach ($line in $name)
{
    New-Item -path $folder -Name $line.Name -Type Directory
}

I'm in the folder where I want all of the folders to reside, and I've saved the csv files to C:\Temp (one for each list).  I just can't wrap my head around how to translate this.

Yup that looks like it'll work...I'll translate..

$folder = "D:\Test\"    (creates a reference to the folder under which you want to create more folders)
$name = Import-Csv D:\Test\Test.csv   (Opens your CSV file for processing - you need to change it to the path of the CSV)
Foreach ($line in $name)     (Read your CSV line-by-line, and for each line, get the folder name, and create it)
{
    New-Item -path $folder -Name $line.Name -Type Directory
}

PS that needs to be run IN powershell, not DOS (two different things). If you search for Powershell you will find two options - Powershell itself (just a command prompt), or the Powershell ISE (script editor). Use the ISE for this, paste your code into the top half...fix the paths, then run it with the big PLAY button at the top.
