Lo guys,

Im trying to write a batch file, and among other things it needs to create directories using a list of names stroed in a text file. Unfortunately the md command doesnt like using redirection operators, and I cant find another way of reading the file to get the foldernames :(

Anyone here know anything about batch files and can help?

Ta muchly

Nah, already seen that.

Have managed to solve it using much cunningness and trial and error 8)
Its just a matter of combining every dos command you can think of in the right order a number of times...
