Hi, I'm new to programming and would most appreciate some help. I would like to know how I could create folders within folders. I have a root directory and inside exist folders, with multiple folders - Client, then inside each client directory is a To and From Folder - inside those folders exists more folders. I would like to create a program that would enable me a way to create folders quickly.

I.E. Drive\Home\Client\To\Folder\Folder1
Drive\Home\Client\From\Folder\Folder1

Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

**** Update - in an attempt to clarify a bit

I have a FTP Network Drive that has a shard folder, inside of that folder is more folders which are clients folders. Inside each client folder is two folders - To and From. Inside of the To and From folders are more folders - these are where clients will place files or pick up files. Therefore, I would like to script something that would only place a folder in either the To or From Folders. It would need to be able to do this for all 1000+ client folders, it would also need to print out a report of what folder was placed and where, and if the folder already exists, then it would need to notify as such and not place a folder, Ideally, if the folder exists, let's say name spelled incorrectly, then script would be able to either correct the name or create a new folder and copy old folder contents to new folder and then delete old folder. I know this is a bit much, however, as present, I manually go thru 1000+ folders adding a folder each time one is needed. Help, please..........

how about something like this:

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            CreateFoldersFromPath(@"C:\manas\hello\abc");
        }

        private static void CreateFoldersFromPath(string PstrPath)
        {
            string LstrPath = PstrPath.Substring(0, 2);
            string[] LlstFolders = PstrPath.Remove(0, 3).Split('\\');

            for (int LiCount = 0; LiCount < LlstFolders.Length; LiCount++)
            {
                if (!Directory.Exists(LstrPath + LlstFolders[LiCount]))
                {
                    LstrPath = string.Format(@"{0}\{1}", LstrPath, LlstFolders[LiCount]);
                    Directory.CreateDirectory(LstrPath);
                }
            }
        }

Lets say you pass the C:\Drive\Home\Client\To\Folder\Folder1 to the function and it will create it for you.

You can take it as a start point and see if it helps.:rose:
