sub-folders in folders from text line
#1
Hi!
Tips on how to create sub-folders in each one created from an txt dokument. See code example.
Should I also close the text file?

import os

with open('text.txt') as x:            *creates folders named from textdokument*
    for line in x:
        line = line.strip()
        os.mkdir(line)                 *Here I want to create sub-folder in each folder*
Tanks in advance!

I don't understand the question. You can use os.mkdir to create directories. There's also os.makedirs if you want to give a path and create all intermediate directories to the leaf (i.e. like mkdir -p on the command line would do).

Also, no, you don't need to close the file - using with takes care of that for you (go and read about context managers if you're interested).
