How to create folder name same as text file

Posts: 3
1. I need guide on how to create a folder name from the text file with .txt format.
2. First, I call the function of reading the directory.
3. Then, I dont know how to do.
4. Finally, I close the directory
This is my source code in perl
## read text.txt file ##
open F, "from/$directory/text.txt";
read F, $buf, 9999;
close F;[/size]
This source code is used to print the folder with date format like "ddmm" d stands for day and m stands for month
if ($command =~ s/-O "(.*)"/-O "$websites\/$month\/$file"/)
Instead, I want to have the name from text.txt to be folder name

Let's see if I understand.
You have a file, let's say test.txt which has many lines, each line is the name of a folder to be created. Then you would do something like:cat test.txt | xargs -I{} mkdir {}
to create the folders? Is that what you want?0 -
Thanks for reply, u are really helpful.
1. For ur info, I only need to create one folder since I only gt one line there too.
2. so is it, cat test.txt | mkdir {}0 -
what I wrote will work if you are running the command from the terminal and you are in the same folder as your test.txt file. Obviously the code could be used in a script and then you could pass some parameters to it (such as the location of the test.txt file). Also the command I wrote is to create a single level directory. So if you want to create two or more levels, it should be like this:
cat test.txt | xargs -I {} mkdir -p {}
And if you want to make it a script, then it should be as:#!/bin/bash if [[ $# -ne 1 [[ then echo "This command requires one argument, the location of the test.txt file" exit 1 fi cat "$1" | xargs -I {} mkdir -p {}
It could still be improved a lot but at least will give you an idea of where to start.
And, talking about where to start, it would be a good idea to check the following link out.
Advance Bash Scripting Guide0 -
Or for a script that's easier to understand:
#!/bin/bash dirname=`cat test.txt` mkdir $dirname
This works if there is just one line to create one directory
If you have multiple lines and want to create multiple directories:#!/bin/bash for i in `cat test.txt`; do mkdir $i done
