  Hi All,

  I am trying to create a directory having folders and sub-folders from URL path. I could able to achieve it but there are issues if folder name is long.
  Considering the below path
  ABC/IT/DEF/LOGABLMESTRIC/Global Supply Chain/VOTC Weekly Reports - By Supplier, by region/WEEK24/DINGHUA-MEAD- WEEKLY VENDOR REPORT.XLS 

  By using PowerShell script, it could able to create folders till ' - By Supplier' and ignoring the remaining part till 'WEEK24'. 

  Please check the script below:
  

      

  Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell

  $Files = Import-Csv "C:\Microsoft PowerShell\GDWFilesTask\GDW Files task\LessFiles.txt"
  
  $TargetPath = "E:\GDW Files"
  
  $wc = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
  $wc.UseDefaultCredentials = $true
  
  ForEach ($File in $Files){ 
  
    $FPath = $($File.Path)
  
    $String = $FPath.ToString()
  
    [System.Collections.ArrayList]$ArrayList = $String.split("/")
    $ArrayList[0] = $TargetPath;
    $ArrayList[2] = "ABC"
    $ArrayList.RemoveAt(1)
    $ArrayList = $ArrayList -notlike "*.*"
  
    $b = ($ArrayList -join "\")
  
    New-Item -ItemType directory -Path $b  
  
    $FileName = Split-Path $FPath -leaf  
  
    $output = $b +"\"+ $FileName
  
    $wc.DownloadFile($FPath, $output)
  
    write-host $FileName " is downloaded." -ForegroundColor Yellow
  
  }

  Is there any way, we can create complete directory with long folder and sub-folder names?
  Please respond.

  Thanks,
