Script to create directory (Wiki update)
Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2018 11:20 pm
Hello!
First time posting something like this and hoping I at least got the right forum.
I've needed some auto directory creation in my scripts, and found this ancient script on Mikrotik Wiki https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Script_t ... _directory
Of course, a lot has happened since 2010 and the old script doesn't work "out of the box" anymore.
I'd like to submit my updated version for review and as a possible replacement on the Wiki.
Script was modified on and for v.6.40.9 (bugfix), I don't know if there are problems with other/newer versions.
Here is the original:
