Hello Everyone,
I am hoping you can help me with the following error. I am trying to create folders name in each Line of the TextBox.
The Windows Form opens, and the Button works, but I am not sure why it is not creating folders in the specific location.
If the textbox contains:
Miguel1
Miguel2
Miguel3

I would like 3 folders be created with those names.
I hope you can help me
Thank you
