OT: List of files w/i a directory
I'm getting ready to send off a CD to my client's customer and have been asked to provide a list of files on the CD. I've got a vague recollection of a DOS command that would list all of the files in a directory and it's subdirectories and pipe them to a txt file, but its been err, well, a bit longer than a week or two since I've used that command. I'm thinking it's something like Dir *.* a switch that means look down thru all subdirs list.txt That command would do a directory of everything in the folder and it's subdirectories and pipe them to a txt file. Can someone help me with the correct syntax for the DOS command or an easier way to do this with the magic of Windows (XP and Office 2003 in case that makes a difference)? Plz reply directly as I'm on digest and kind of need to get crackin on this today if at all possible. Thanks in advance. J.

Re: OT: List of files w/i a directory
In the parent directory, execute: dir /s foo.txt If the files are already on the CD, t may take a few minutes to run, especially on a CD, and you can't write the list file to the CD, so you'd need to add a directory and path to the text file name.

OT: List of files w/i a directory
I think you want to use the tree command. Set the working directory to where you want to begin making the tree. At a command prompt, type: tree /F /A filelist.txt The /F will cause the files to be listed. The /A will make it ASCII in the tree branches, which works better for text. I still find use for this command when I need to send a file structure description to somebody. :-) Steve ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

RE: List of files w/i a directory
In a dos window: Dir /s file.txt will do what you want. The /s means list subdirectories. BTW, in a dos window, doing: Command /? Lists all the options for that command.
