Windows batch command for multiple folders creation 0001 - 1000












0















I need to create folders named 0001 to 1000 using a batch command.
Folder names should be all 4 digits, ie: 0001, 0002, 0999 - 1000.



I've already tried this command line:



for /L %%g in (1,1,1000) do (md %%g)

  • Use 4 separate commands for to create folders 0001-0009, 0010-0099, 0100-0999 and 1000 respectively. It is the simplest solution I think.

You could also try the following (in a batch file):



setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /l %%i in (1,1,1000) do set n=0000%%i& echo !n:~-4!


This gives



0001
0002
0003
...
