Windows batch scripting question

[benwood]

I need some help with Windows scripting. I have a bunch of DVDs rips stored on my PC that I watch with my Patriot Box Office (PBO) hardware media player. Unfortunately the PBO doesn't support symbolic links properly so I've had to create directory junctions instead. I've been typing the directory junctions in manually from the command line but surely there's a way to automate this with a batch script. Here's a example:


mklink /J "F:\Movies\Horror\Alien Series\Alien" "F:\Movies\SciFi\Alien Series\Alien"
mklink /J "F:\Movies\Horror\Alien Series\Aliens" "F:\Movies\SciFi\Alien Series\Aliens"
mklink /J "F:\Movies\Horror\Alien Series\Alien 3" "F:\Movies\SciFi\Alien Series\Alien 3"
mklink /J "F:\Movies\Horror\Alien Series\Alien Resurrection" "F:\Movies\SciFi\Alien Series\Alien Resurrection"

This would be easy with Powershell basically a for loop that basically looks like this:

$dirList = get-childitem -path "DirPath" | ?{ $_.PSIsContainer }

foreach($dir in $dirList)
{
mklink /J ($dir.FullName) "destinationPath"
}

That is mostly psuedo code, fix it to make it work

What does this have to do with operating systems?
Should be moved to 'Software for Windows'.
