and for loops.
So basically you're code will look like this:
Basically, where the 1st 4 appears in the 1st line above, change that for the max number off directories you need to check for.
change <dir path 1> to the 1st directory path.
change <dir path 2> to the 2nd directory path....etc
and <enter the code for just the one directory here> put the actual code you were repeating countless times (but only 1 reitteration).
Each time you need to feed in the directory path, use $dirpath instead.

That's the basic theory anyway. I'm half asleep (as it's after midnight in the UK) and coding this directly into Chromium, so you'll have to do the debugging.
Hi, I am trying to figure out how to have a folder created in multiple directories.

dh_install
DH_INSTALL(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALL(1)NAME
dh_install - install files into package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_install [-Xitem] [--autodest] [--sourcedir=dir] [debhelperoptions] [file|dir...destdir]
DESCRIPTION
dh_install is a debhelper program that handles installing files into package build directories. There are many dh_install* commands that
handle installing specific types of files such as documentation, examples, man pages, and so on, and they should be used when possible as
they often have extra intelligence for those particular tasks. dh_install, then, is useful for installing everything else, for which no
particular intelligence is needed. It is a replacement for the old dh_movefiles command.
This program may be used in one of two ways. If you just have a file or two that the upstream Makefile does not install for you, you can
run dh_install on them to move them into place. On the other hand, maybe you have a large package that builds multiple binary packages. You
can use the upstream Makefile to install it all into debian/tmp, and then use dh_install to copy directories and files from there into the
proper package build directories.
From debhelper compatibility level 7 on, dh_install will fall back to looking in debian/tmp for files, if it does not find them in the
current directory (or wherever you've told it to look using --sourcedir).
FILES
debian/package.install
List the files to install into each package and the directory they should be installed to. The format is a set of lines, where each
line lists a file or files to install, and at the end of the line tells the directory it should be installed in. The name of the files
(or directories) to install should be given relative to the current directory, while the installation directory is given relative to
the package build directory. You may use wildcards in the names of the files to install.
Note that if you list exactly one filename or wildcard-pattern on a line by itself, with no explicit destination, then dh_install will
automatically guess the destination to use, the same as if the --autodest option were used.
debian/not-installed
Used with the deprecated --list-missing and --fail-missing options. Please refer to dh_missing(1) for the documentation of this file.
OPTIONS --list-missing
Deprecated: Please use dh_missing --list-missing instead. If you use this option, dh_install will call dh_missing with that option
after it has processed all the files. Please see dh_missing(1) for the documentation of this option.
This option is removed in compat 12.
--fail-missing
Deprecated: Please use dh_missing --fail-missing instead. If you use this option, dh_install will call dh_missing with that option
after it has processed all the files. Please see dh_missing(1) for the documentation of this option.
This option is removed in compat 12.
--sourcedir=dir
Look in the specified directory for files to be installed.
Note that this is not the same as the --sourcedirectory option used by the dh_auto_* commands. You rarely need to use this option,
since dh_install automatically looks for files in debian/tmp in debhelper compatibility level 7 and above.
--autodest
Guess as the destination directory to install things to. If this is specified, you should not list destination directories in
debian/package.install files or on the command line. Instead, dh_install will guess as follows:
Strip off debian/tmp (or the sourcedir if one is given) from the front of the filename, if it is present, and install into the dirname
of the filename. So if the filename is debian/tmp/usr/bin, then that directory will be copied to debian/package/usr/. If the filename
is debian/tmp/etc/passwd, it will be copied to debian/package/etc/.
file|dir ... destdir
Lists files (or directories) to install and where to install them to. The files will be installed into the first package dh_install
acts on.
LIMITATIONS
dh_install cannot rename files or directories, it can only install them with the names they already have into wherever you want in the
package build tree.
However, renaming can be achieved by using dh-exec with compatibility level 9 or later. An example debian/package.install file using dh-
exec could look like:
#!/usr/bin/dh-exec
debian/default.conf => /etc/my-package/start.conf
Please remember the following three things:
o The package must be using compatibility level 9 or later (see debhelper(7))
o The package will need a build-dependency on dh-exec.
o The install file must be marked as executable.

This program is a part of debhelper.
