Instead of a script, you could use a Shell Worksheet. File > New > Shell Worksheet Copy your list into the worksheet, then use Text > Prefix/Suffix Lines… to prefix each line with "mkdir ". (Be sure to include the space after mkdir.) Now change to the container folder: Type on a new line "cd ", then drag the outer folder and drop it so that the line reads, e.g., cd ~/Desktop/theOuterFolder Select that line and type ⌘-Return. Now select all the mkdir lines (i.e., your list with the added prefixes), and again type ⌘-Return. Done. -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
