How do I make multiple folders in a single location using relative path to the location?

In Bash and other shells that support it, you can do mkdir ~/Labs/lab4a/folder{1..3} or mkdir ~/Labs/lab4a/folder{1,2,3} Other options: mkdir $(seq -f “$HOME/Labs/lab4a/folder%03g” 3) mkdir $(printf “$HOME/Labs/lab4a/folder%03g ” {0..3}) Which will give you leading zeros which make sorting easier. This will do the same thing in Bash 4: mkdir ~/Labs/lab4a/folder{001..3}
