foreach folder

Hi,

I'm having a small issue here and I can't get it to work. I'm programming a script for bash and I need to do something to all the folder in a directory. So I'm in the directory and I want to use the foreach statement but I dont know how to reference all the folders of that directory. To make things simplistic here's my code:

Code:

foreach instance (.)
cd instance
mkdir test
end

basically for each folder in that directory, I want to cd into it and create a folder called test. Any ideas?
