Generate list of files in a folder using DOS
Generate list of files in a folder using DOS
There may be instances when you wish to generate a list of files
present in a folder.
The following DOS command can be useful in achieving the above
DIR *.* /S /B /A:-D
Where
/S - search sub folders
/B - bare format, no summaries and headings
/A:-D - no directories, files only
and to save the list we can redirect the result to another file.
The following command will generate a list of all the files in the
root folder and write to a file C:\list1.txt
DIR *.* /B /A:-D > C:\list1.txt
The following command will generate a list of all the files in the
root folder and all its subfolders and write to a file C:\list2.txt
DIR *.* /S /B /A:-D > C:\list2.txt
Lets look at the demo to understand the above steps.
