[ale] bash/korm mkdirs

[Oysgelt, Moisey G [GMG]]

I decided to write a shell function mkdirs.
To create multiple level directories in on pass.
I found this very useful, and I could not goggled it.

so I used cigwin to wrote next script
----------------
#!/usr/bin/bash


# set -x trace

dir=""

function _m_d()
{
if [[ -n $1 ]] ; then
    dir="$dir$1"
if test ! -d $dir ; then
mkdir $dir
fi
    dir="$dir/"
fi
}

function _mkdirs()
{
dir=""
bigdir=$1
bigdir=`echo $1 | sed 's/ /\\\\ /g'`
sdir=$(echo $bigdir | awk -F "/" '{print $1}')
if [[ -n $sdir ]] ; then
    _m_d $sdir
else
    return
fi
sdir=$(echo $bigdir | awk -F "/" '{print $2}')
if [[ -n $sdir ]] ; then
    _m_d $sdir
else
    return
fi
sdir=$(echo $bigdir | awk -F "/" '{print $3}')
if [[ -n $sdir ]] ; then
    _m_d $sdir
else
    return
fi
sdir=$(echo $bigdir | awk -F "/" '{print $4}')
if [[ -n $sdir ]] ; then
    _m_d $sdir
else
    return
fi
if [[ -n $sdir ]] ; then
    _m_d $sdir
else
    return
fi
## and so on up to 20
}

_mkdirs "a/b/c/da/b/c/da/b/c/d"


----------------
***********************
I wanted to make a loop 
like

   for x:=1 to 20 do
      stmp="echo $bigdir | awk -F "/" '{print \$$x}'"
    sdir=`$stmp`
if [[ -n $sdir ]] ; then
    _m_d $sdir
else
    return
fi


   done
****************
but this did not fly

What wrong did I do. Do I miss something fundamental in korn.
