Creating new folders from file names
You can use the "Create Folder Dynamic.FM" script with the command line feature of FileMonkey. This will create a new empty folder in every sub-folder of the target path. The new folder will be named using the file name.
If you want to create folders with a static name, use the "Create Folder Static.FM" script.
Note that although this script will work as required, FoldMonkey (a more user friendly package) can also do this.
If you want to create folders and then copy or move files, use the "Copy" feature of FileMonkey.
