Hi, I have a bash script as follows: -------------- #!/bin/sh for dir in `find /foo/stats/* -type d` do mkdir `find $dir/newfolder/` Done -------------- However, there`s a detail that I`d be grateful for help with: As is, the script creates "newfolder" subfolder for ALL LEVELS of subfolders under "/foo/stats". However, I`d like to apply it to the FIRST LEVEL OF SUBFOLDERS ONLY, e.g. "foo/stats/folder1", "foo/stats/folder2" BUT NOT TO "foo/stats/folder1/subfolder/", "foo/stats/folder2/subfolder/" and so forth. Could you please help me modify this script appropriately? Thanks in advance

Kath, I think you can try this one.. #!/bin/sh IFS=' ' ls -ld /foo/stats/* | grep ^d | awk -F" " '{print $9}' > /tmp/temp for i in `cat /tmp/temp` do mkdir $i/NEWFOLDER done This is the simplest version :D njoy ... ~ Neel !!
