Re: mkdir after mkdir

I'm still kind of a newbie at this, but couldn't you accomplish this by doing each MKDIR separately with a series of ELSE/IF statements. The basic logic would be: Check if parent DIR exists. If not, create one and then go on.... If yes: Check if Child DIR Exists If Not, Create one, if yes, go on....
