• Create folder structures easily
• Avoid clicking fivethousend times
• Simple config syntax

Get started

Setup

1. Make sure you have python3.x installed
2. Download the script (struct)

Creating a blank config

1. Navigate to the folder where you want your folder structure
2. Create a file named struc.tur
3. Open the struc.tur file using your favourite editor
4. To initialize the struc.tur as a config type or paste into the first line the string: [struc.tur]
5. Now we have a blank valid config file

Configure the config

Currently there are two functions which you can use in the config file

Function	Description	Example
ec [string]	Print something to the console	ec Hello
mk [path]	Create dictionary	mk nice-folder

To use these functions you first must specify where to create all that stuff. You can do that by adding the path under the first line. For example ./ as a relative path for the folder where the config is.

The struc.tur file schould look like this then:

[struc.tur]
./

In the next step you have to tell the script where to start and where to end with your commands. You can do that by adding a start string and an end string. At this point the struct.tur file should be ready to handle your functions.

[struc.tur]
./
start
// here will your commands go
end

Execute the struct

To run the struct script and let it create your folder structure do the following steps:

1. Move the previously downloaded struct script into the directory where your struc.tur lays.
2. Open your terminal
3. Run the script by typing/copying python3 struct into the terminal
4. The script should run

Create your first folders

A basic example for a usecase of this script could be that you want to create a overseeable folder structure for your photo archiv.

Here is the struc.tur config for such case:

[struc.tur]
./
start
mk photo_archiv
mk photo_archiv/2017
mk photo_archiv/2017/holiday
mk photo_archiv/2017/party
mk photo_archiv/2017/selfies
mk photo_archiv/2017/memes
mk photo_archiv/2018
mk photo_archiv/2018/holiday
mk photo_archiv/2018/party
mk photo_archiv/2018/selfies
mk photo_archiv/2018/memes
end
