Is there a way to check if a new folder (exact name is unknown) has been created inside a specific parent folder as a result of running previous commands in bat file? If yes - run one more command with the full path to a new folder as an argument to that command.
Right now I am using a folder monitoring software to run another bat if new folder is created. I would like to have just one script performing both tasks.
Thank you for your help.

change the root_folder
location on the second line
@echo off
set "root_folder=C:\something"
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
set counter=1
for /d /r "%root_folder%" %%a in (*) do (
set "dirs[!counter!]=%%~sa" >nul
set /a counter=counter+1
)
rem ############################
rem # call your code here !!! #
rem ############################
call commands.bat
rem for /l %%l in (1,1,!counter!) do (
rem dir /x /b /s /a:d "%root_folder%" | findstr /i "dirs[%%l]"
rem )
set flag=0
for /d /r "%root_folder%" %%a in (*) do (
set dirs[|find /i "%%~sa" >nul 2>nul ||(
echo "%%~sa" is a new folder
set flag=1
)
)
if %flag% equ 0 (
echo no new folders
)
