DOS command line programming
I have a file folder structure (S:\CLIENTS\A\clientname).
Note: there are numerous clientnames in the folder.
I want to add another sub-folder under each clientname, 2014.
I'd like to know the DOS commands to input (at a DOS prompt) to do such a task.
Thanks

OK; this worked.
Now a follow on since we have this working.
What would the input be if instead of the folder S:\Clients\A it was S:\Crown City Financial Services\Clients\A?
When I input this name string DOS treats Crown as a folder, City as a folder, Financial as a folder and Services as a folder!
What is the DOS command to treat Crown City Financial Services as one name/folder?

Try...
for /d %a in ("S:\Crown City Financial Services\Clients\A\*.*") do (md "%a\2014")
This input returned, "More?" (without the " ")
Created the Batch file and dragged the folder to it BUT it treated each word in the folder name as a separate folder.
For example, it created a folder named Crown with 2014 subfolder; a folder named City with a 2014 subfolder, etc.
