BBEdit might make this unnecessarily complicated. A shell one-liner would suffice. In the terminal:

cd /path/to/base/folder
cat /path/to/foldernames.txt | while read; do mkdir "$REPLY"; done

You can drag your base folder and text file into the terminal window instead of typing the full paths.

Hope this helps.

Hello. I know that it is possible to do this. I am just not an Applescript
or Python expert. So, if someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it.
Basically, I have a BBEdit text file with a list of about 300 folder names
alphabetically listed in it, one name per line. I need a script which will
take those 300 names, and create actual folders with those exact names on
my hard drive in a folder on my desktop. I am assuming that once I have
such a script, I would place it in " ~/Library/Application
Support/BBEdit/Scripts". Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me
with this.
