File structure is a very important part of a computer. Structure refers to the ‘tree' format that is used within computers. There is usually one primary folder and many sub-folders and sub-sub-folders within that one main folder. These folder structures are very important because some programs and applications have a specific file path saved to allow them to access a file when needed. This means that keeping that file structure intact is vital to making sure the functionality of various programs on the computer. Producing these file structures is a critical piece of computer programming. Proper file organization and set up can be the difference between a very fluid and effective piece of software and software that crashes every few minutes. Building these file trees can be a gigantic undertaking during complex programming. File structures might extend many layers deep and cover multiple drives. Monitoring of these files and their locations can be daunting for even the most skillful programmer. There is a technique for file and folder creation that some programmers use but is confusing to those unfamiliar with more complex usage of a computer. This process is done through the Notepad application on a Windows PC. The first step is to create a main or root folder where you want the new folders to be located. Secondly, open the Notepad application and then immediately save it as dir.bat. Then, type md file1 md file2 md file3 md C:\Users\jimbob\Desktop where file1 and so on are the names of the folders to be created. Then, close the Notepad file and open the Run command in Windows. Open the Notepad folder through the Run program. This will create the folders that were specified within the Notepad file. If that procedure seems beyond any programming that you want to undertake, there is an easier and faster option. A short search for ‘Create Multiple File Folders from Text Files' at www.hothotsoftware.com will bring up an amazing program for batch folder creation. This application permits large numbers of folders to be created from a text file with only a couple of mouse clicks. After opening the program, you will see that the whole application functions within a single window, reducing any fears of getting lost or confused within the program. Also notice that the window is divided into two primary sections, one on top and one on bottom. At the top of the window is a field that displays any text files that contain the folder information you require. Directly below this field is a button branded ‘Add File(s)' which permits files to be included in the program. There is also the capacity for the software to search for images within a specified folder. The bottom portion of the window is an alternative means of folder creation. An index of folder names can be created and then copied and pasted into the window. The program will then create folders based off of the list in that field. Lastly, the very bottom of the window has the command to commence the process. Once the program begins it will convert your files and display a completion window when the program is finished. Folder tree structure has really never been simpler than with this software. You can fully decide the structure that you want within a text file and then have the folders produced. This entirely eliminates the necessity to develop a file structure from scratch only to have it be inadequate.
