Help? Elementary computer knowledge lacking!

I want to be able to create (automatically) a file folder containing 100 subfolders, named (and numbered) sequentially.

I'm sure I'm doing it the hard way at the moment, via copy, paste & renumbering by hand.

What I want is a folder that contains folders, say, named "Project # 11200" through "Project 11299" for example.

Is there some way to automate this that even a programming illiterate can figure out?

batch file. look up the batch file commands on the net and use that.

Should be no more than about 10 lines or so.

Save this to a VBS file:

Code: Select all

Set fso = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim N
For N = 0 To 99
  fso.CreateFolder ("bla" & N)
Next

And modify as needed.
