How do I create a directory using MS-DOS?

I know how to create a smaller range of directories, i.e., md 100 101 102. However, I need to create multiple folders with a range from 100 - 1000. I don't want to have to type out that whole range. Is it possible?

  • FOR /L %%D IN (100,1,1000) DO MD %%D

    You may directly type this command in the command-line (no Batch file), but in this case change the double percent-signs by single ones.

  • No. You could write a qbasic program but it might be quicker to type it all out by cutting and pasting lines in a batch file then editing it. Or create the text in excel and paste it into a file and use that as a batch file - here goes.
