How to make "n" level folder tree by mkdir -p or bat script on windows?

As you may know, md -p can create a tree folder like: mkdir -p

but how to create a "n" deep folder by script such as bat or any other?

Directory tree sample: - C:\ -- 001 --- 002 ---- 003 .............. ----- n

Thanks anyway Rover

If Command Extensions are enabled (the default) then MD command will create all intermediate directories in the given path if they don't exists, so you just need to enter something like this:

md C:\001\002\003

 ( for /l %a in (1 1 10) do md %a & cd %a ) & cd "%cd%"

To be used from command line. To use it inside a batch file, percent signs need to be escaped, replacing %a with %%a

For a padded version you can use

cmd /v /c "for /l %a in (1001 1 1005) do (set "x=%a" & md !x:~-3! & cd !x:~-3!)"

This script will create 999 folders inside each other (from 001 to 999):

@ECHO OFF
FOR /L %%i IN (1,1,999) DO (
    IF %%i LSS 10 (
        MD 00%%i
        CD 00%%i
    ) ELSE (
        IF %%i LSS 100 (
            MD 0%%i
            CD 0%%i
        ) ELSE (
            MD %%i
            CD %%i
        )
    )
)
PAUSE
