Command line for making a directory list?

[PhilliePhan]

Hi DeLuk,

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but here are a couple batch files that you might want to try/play around with. Both generate long lists and you might wish to include switches to pare them down.

-- Just copy the items in quotes below to NOTEPAD
-- Save them to your Desktop as FindFilesA.bat and FindFilesB.bat
-- Then, just doubleclick on them and your results will pop up in Notepad. When you close notepad, the file will be deleted. So, remember to save it

@ECHO OFF

cd %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\
dir /a >> %systemdrive%\filelist.txt
notepad %systemdrive%\filelist.txt
del /q %systemdrive%\filelist.txt

This second one adds a couple switches, but is still quite a list:

@ECHO OFF

cd %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\
dir /a /b /s >> %systemdrive%\filelist.txt
notepad %systemdrive%\filelist.txt
del /q %systemdrive%\filelist.txt

** I should add that, if you want to find a more specific folder, you could modify the following:

cd %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\User Name\Desired Folder Name for example.......


Let me know if this helps or if you have any questions.

Best Luck
