Auto create txt file in each folder

[Ruriko]

I have a directory with thousands of subfolders in them. I want to create a text file in each folder containing the folder name in it. How can I do this in windows?

Here you go create a file called getDirs.bat and add this content

@ECHO OFF
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /ad /b /s') do (
   @echo %%~nxa > %%a\test.nfo
)

Put it in the folder with all the subfolders and run it. You can make test.nfo to anything you want..

Is there a way to make it work with folders containing Chinese characters?

If the folder was written successfully in chinese characters than it should use them. What results are you getting now??

[Ruriko]

Well the error closes so fast that I couldn't fully read it but it said something about directory being syntax error. Works fine with english characters

Use a dir /b/s > dir.lst command line command and paste the links here in a code box.

I guess that didn't work. Upload the file to a file host and pm me the link.

change bat file to this

@ECHO OFF
chcp 65001 > nul
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /ad /b /s') do ( @echo %%~nxa > %%a\test.nfo )
