Supress Confirmation To Create New Directory

ElastomerGuy

I'm using Switch in a batch file to convert a bunch of .wav files to .mp3 files. I want to preserve the .wav files and create the .mp3 files in a new directory. Whenever Switch has to create a new directory, it asks me whether I want to create the new directory and I have to manually click on OK to get the program to continue. So, although the batch file has automated the process to some extent, it's not totally automated because I have to respond to the question about creating a new directory. Is there any way to supress this question so it just goes ahead and creates the new directory? Thanks in advance.

You can use the XCOPY command to "pre-create" the same folder structure. Try:

XCOPY H:\Music\ H:\MP3\ /T /E

Be sure to append the \'s to the paths, and you'll have to put the source and destination paths in quotes if they contain spaces.

You could add this line to the NCH.BAT to automagically do the same thing every time you run it, but it's pretty time-consuming, and you'd normally only do it once, then use Explorer to rename or move the new folder structure much more simply!

Hope this helps!
