Automatic MS_RFDIR Creation

Question

I am working on a major revision to our network workspace and am trying to build the MS_RFDIR configuration variable with our knowing all of the possible directories that will need to be included. 
 I have a base set of directories to include in this variable but some of our design build projects have additional directories that need to be added as the project progresses. I don't know the directory names until the files are recieved from another design firm and I don't want to continually edit the PCF to add the new directories 
 Example: 
 Base Directory: /DesignBuild/ 
 /DesignBuild/CompanyA/ #Additional subdirectory added after creation of pcf file 
 /DesignBuild/CompanyB/ #Additional subdirectory added after creation of pcf file 
 
 Is there a way to have all subdirectories(CompanyA and CompanyB) of a known directory (DesignBuild) added automatcially to the MS_RFDIR without using VBA or another other programming language? 
 
 Thanks,

Hi Jason, I am afraid there isn't an option to automatically add reference's folder paths to the MS_RFDIR. 
 I guess currently this would require some code to add the new path to the variable in one of the configuration files. 
 Another quick way for manually doing this (if you are not already doing it) is to create a text file with the folders/subfolders list using the MSDOS "dir" command, then use a good text editor (such as Notepad++) to quickly change each folder path into an MS_RFDIR > .... entry that can be pasted in your PCF or other .cfg file. 
 It will only take a minute using the advanced find/replace features and you can so it on multiple files at the same time.
