Question

1. Create a directory called CIS153
2. Create new files based on each line from mydata.txt. Each new file name starts with newFile. The files will be saved in CIS153 directory
3. Delete all files that were created from step 2
4. Delete the directory created from step 1
5. Redirect the out from step 3 & 4 to a file called output.txt

Answer 1

IIf this is for windows 10, there is no verbose mode delete files. prompt is available. but chose to ignore as redirecting output to file. instead I wrote delete messages to output file. let me know if any changes required.

If you want it in Bash, let me know.

@echo off
REM Creating directory CIS153
mkdir CIS153
REM changing PWD to CIS153
cd CIS153
REM Read input file from user
set /p input= "Enter Input file: "
REM For each entry in input file
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('more %input%') do (
   REM Create an empty file starts with newFile
   type nul > newFile%%a
)
echo "Files Created"
echo "Delete Files?"
REM pausing before deleting file. this will give time
REM to look in to directory
pause
REM move out of CIS153
CD ..
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir CIS153 /b /a-d') do (
echo "Deleting " CIS153\%%a >> output.txt
REM Delete files in CIS153
del /Q CIS153\%%a >> output.txt
)
echo "Deleting " CIS153 >> output.txt
REM Delete directory
rmdir CIS153 >> output.txt
echo "Delete completed. Exit?"
