Text 2 Folders creates folders based on list written in a text file. This contrasts the normal method for creating multiple folders, which is clicking "New Folder" repeatedly and then renaming the individual folders. Just create text document in Windows Notepad or other text program and save it, then run the program to generate folders. Separate folder names by putting them on a separate lines in the text file. For example a text file with the following text:
Documents
Pictures
Music
Video
Pictures
Music
Video
... will create the directories Documents, Pictures, Music, and Video.

Occasionally, i use a procedure that ends up time consuming anyway:
1. search for desired file search app (usually, regex in filelocator lite).
2. select filenames in results.
3. "export" those filenames to clipboard.
4. paste into batch file, with appropriate text find&replace

¶MD»
and manual edits to create batch commands.
5. run batch

I know, but that’s several steps more (open editor, prefix, close editor, rename file, run file). This program is for the lazy and/or the none-too-savvy, not for the experienced user.

Good luck prefacing 100+lines with "MD" without having to use another program though…

Have none of ever heard of batch files??? Since you've already got the text file, change the extension from .TXT to .CMD and preface each line with "MD " like this:
MD Documents
MD Pictures
MD Music
MD Video
Then just run it.

FreeCommander can do this, but if you aren't lucky enough to use a file manager with the built-in feature, this little app is the next-best thing.
Great find!

Such a simple thing it seems unnecessary but then I went looking for a program that does something similar and couldn't find one.
Great time saver.
@granny Are you sure FreeCommander can do this? I know it can create nested folders separated with a slash, but how can it create peer folders? FreeCommander XE supports | to separate folders like TotalCommander, but plain FreeCommander doesn't.
