unix shell script

Hi,

I have the following text file:

/KING
/KING/JONES
/KING/JONES/SCOTT
/KING/JONES/SCOTT/ADAMS
/KING/JONES/FORD
/KING/JONES/FORD/SMITH
/KING/BLAKE
/KING/BLAKE/ALLEN
/KING/BLAKE/WARD
/KING/BLAKE/MARTIN
/KING/BLAKE/TURNER
/KING/BLAKE/JAMES
/KING/CLARK

/KING/CLARK/MILLER

I would like to create the directory structure as mentioned above.
Assume that i am currently in GVK. all the directories should come under this directory.
Also i would like to avoid rows that are having spaces.

I have the following script.

Code:
while read file
do
  if [ ! -d `$file` ] ; then
    mkdir -p $file
  fi ;
done < path.txt

Please suggest if any changes needs to be done or please send me the code.

Regards,
G.Vamsi Krishna

One way, lines with a space are skipped:

Code:
awk 'match($0," "){next}{system("mkdir -p "$0)}' path.txt

If there are no spaces in the directory names:
