generating mkdir commands from a full directory listing. Is this possible? How?

[x509]

I would like to generate all the mkdir statements automatically for a dir *.* /s command output. Is that feasible? I could not find such a utility, but maybe I was using the wrong search terms.

In advance, thanks.

So you're saying you want some sort of command to create a nested directory structure?

1. What is the purpose of this

2. This could be done with vbscript or powershell

3. There are multiple utilities that can copy the folder structure without copying the files.

Xcopy is built into windows and can do that.

xcopy <source> <destination> /T /S /E

/T = Create directory structure, but don't copy files
/S = Process recursively
/E = Include Empty folders

$strTargetDir = "c:\pathtosomewhere"
$listOfDirs = Get-ChildItem -Path $strTargetDir -Directory -Recurse
$listOfDirs | ForEach-Object {write-host "mkdir" $_.FullName}

Rub a little PowerShell on it to generate a list of mkdir statements for a target directory's descendants.

xcopy is listed on the page I linked to.
