This article is for system administrators. Windows Command Prompt is a command line interface used by system administrators for performing administrative tasks. A command line interface is an important part of an operating system and without it, an operating system is incomplete. The graphical user interface is for common users and the command line interface is for more advanced users. Although the modern versions of windows have been built in such a manner that even complicated administrative tasks can be performed from graphical user interfaces, the command prompt will always be unparalleled for system administration in windows.
System administration often requires automation. There are third-party softwares for automation on windows. Knowledge of vanilla automation or automation without installing additional tools is an important prerequisite on the path to becoming an efficient system administrator. With command prompt, you can automate a lot of tasks simply by running a few commands, most of the times, a single command. Creating a folder on windows takes a full second. You right click, go to New and then click on Folder and rename the new folder. There are shortcuts but the time required is more or less the same. So, assume you need to create 1000 folders. That will take around 1000 seconds or 16.67 minutes. Plus, you will feel extremely bored and irritated as doing the same task a thousand times will certainly bore even the most enthusiastic computer worker. With windows command prompt, you can create 1000 folders simply by running a command, for /l %i in (1,1,1000) do mkdir %i. While copying please make sure you are not copying the full stop too.
Let's understand the command part by part. The for loop syntax on windows command prompt is "FOR /L %variable IN (start,step,end) DO command [command-parameters]". Using the for loop we are running the mkdir command with the value of the counter variable which increases by 1 starting from 1 and ending at 1000. This single command is equivalent to one thousand commands, mkdir 1, mkdir 2, mkdir 3, ... , mkdir 1000. Run one single command and lean back on your chair. Let the command run and when it has finished, you will see that the present working directory i.e. the directory in which you have opened command prompt, has one thousand folders named 1, 2, 3, ... , 1000. The command can be modified according to the requirements, as you can guess. If you want one million folders just replace one thousand with one million in the command.
The mentioned command creates folders whose names are in a numerical series. Sometimes, administrators need to create folders from a comma-separated list of names. If you have a list which uses a different delimiter, you can easily convert it to a comma separated list using a tool like notepad++. To create folders from a list of names you need to use a slightly modified command, for %i in (a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z) do mkdir %i. The command, for %i in (1,2,3, ... ,1000) do mkdir %i is equivalent to the command, for /l %i in (1,1,1000) do mkdir %i.
