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

See if anything in this helps

Nah, already seen that.

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

FOR /F "usebackq" %i IN (file-name.txt) DO MD "%i"

Yeh, ended up with something like that.
Unfortunately once I got that working everything else broke  :cry:
