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.
