Need to make roughly 250 directories

md 001AAA
md 002AAA
md 003AAA

How can I create a batch file to accomplish this?

You could use Excel to produce 250 lines like those in your example, then write these out to a text file with a .BAT extension. You can then run the bat file from a dos prompt.

Or you could try using the FOR command and a counter loop. This becomes a little more portable, and is [in my opinion] more fun and rewarding.

But I must admit, I've used Excel as you've described several times.

Do a google search on "dos command batch" to find a few sites to teach you. If you like, when I have a little time, I can do this for you the first time so you see what it's like. But I'd prefer you try on your own first.
