....
these are filenames paths but also paths of folders. The problem I want to solve is to create all folders that doesn't exist.
I want to call mkdir command for every folder that does not exist
How can I do this on easy way ?
Thanks

The mkdir() function creates a new, empty directory whose name is defined by path. The file permission bits in mode are modified by the file creation mask of the job and then used to set the file permission bits of the directory being created.
You can create directories one by one with mkdir, but this can be time-consuming. To avoid that, you can run a single mkdir command to create multiple directories at once. To do so, use the curly brackets {} with mkdir and state the directory names, separated by a comma.
mkdir creates a file instead of directory.
The command that allows you to create directories (also known as folders) is mkdir .
This can be done in native bash syntax without any calls to external binaries:
while read line; do mkdir -p "${line%/*}"; done < infile
Or perhaps with a just a single call to mkdir if you have bash 4.x
mapfile -t arr < infile; mkdir -p "${arr[@]%/*}"
