I have a large number of photos that are contained in over 100 directories. These are all pre-installation photos. I would like to keep the existing directory structure but add a \pre and \post directory in any directory that contains a .jpg photo. I dont want a subdirectory created if a given directory only contains other directories but not files
For testing , I have a single .jpg in c:\temp\one\two\three. I ran this command in c:\temp:
FOR /R c:\temp %G IN (*.jpg) DO mkdir pre
However, it created the pre directory directly under c:\temp

So, the problem is that you try to mkdir
in a current dir. For each JPG file you find you want to get a directory name, switch to it (using pushd
), create a pre
directory if it does not exist yet, and then switch back to where you started (with popd
).
FOR /R c:\temp %G IN (*.JPG) DO pushd %~dpG && if not exist pre mkdir pre && popd
