Question

I want to create a directory(File or Folder) reading Csv file in a given path Example as below.

Type    Path
Folder  C:\Users\PC\Desktop\Test\
File    C:\User\PC\Desktop\example.txt

I want shell script to create a file or folder. I don't know where to go for. Please help me. I am new to shell scripting.

Answer 1

You should start by defining your root, say "c:\\users\\pc\\desktop\\"

Next,Traverse through each line of your CSV.

csV_line: C:\Users\PC\Desktop\Testfolder1\testfolder2

replace the root by '' so all that's left is Testfolder1\\testfolder2

You can then split them on \\

Result:    Testfolder1 AND testfolder2

Check with a regex or -like ' . ' to see if it has an extension.

Depending on the result you would use new-item -type directory or file .
