Hi,

I'm trying to use mkdir to create something like:

/foo/blah/bar/something

However, 'foo', 'blah', and 'bar' are not guaranteed to exist, so I
need mkdir to recursively create the directories that are not there.
Is there a way to do this? I did a lot of searching on google but I
came up with nothing. Thanks.

Never mind:

mkdir -p

Personally I go for

import os
os.makedirs('somemultipartpath')

But that's the pythonista in me.

if the path is known, something like
for $word in foo blah bar something
do
if [! -d $word]
** mkdir $word
fi
done

(simple bash script)
