Create folders using masklist
hello there,

I have a file called foldermasklist.txt
have
Code:
Aayush 1 source1/checksum
Aayush 0 source2/checksum
flexing  1  source1/source2/checksum
flexing  1  time1/checksum

in the format
Code:
<parentfolder><flag><subfolders>

script needs to read the flag if it's 1 then folder needs to create like
Code:
mkdir -p <parentfolder><flag><subfolders>

if's 0 then skip it.
there can be many parent and subfolders but depdning on flag it has to be decided to create or not .

can anyone help me out.

Regards,

Do really you want <flag> in the created path?

Anyway, you could do something like:
Code:
while read PARENT FLAG FOLDERS
do
   if [ "${FLAG}" == "1" ]
   then
      mkdir -p "${PARENT}"/"${FOLDERS}"
   fi
done < foldermasklist.txt
