How to make Emacs create intermediate dirs - when saving a file?

Question

Is there a way to create folder tree in emacs - similar to

mkdir -p

in bash?

Basically - I want emacs to create all the intemediate dir

Answer 1

You can also just execute mkdir -p from inside emacs using M-! to get a shell command prompt.

Then all you have to do is put your directory structure in:

M-! dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4.....
