Topic: Dos question

[fizic]

It's years since I used Dos & have totally forgotten everything. 

I used to know a Dos code for listing files on my pc in text format so that it could be opened into a spreadsheet for editting. As I recall it listed all directories in a particular field and subs and roots.

I have a million files which need colating and I really don't want to have to create a list by hand. 

I'd be really grateful is someone could help me out.

Cheers

If you want to do it from within Windows, pick up a copy of DirPrin from:

Stretching my memory a bit, but wasn't the DOS command dir C:\*.* /s >C:\temp\files.txt

which would list all files in all folders on drive C, copying the output to the file C:\temp\fliles.txt.

hmmm, i cant remember too much about dos - in linux it would be easy as writing ls > output.txt but I'm not sure about dos, i'll have a play when I get onto a windows machine... but maybe someone else does

sounds right to me...

Yes it was in windows and that piece of code seems to be familiar.

Thanks alot for the help & have a great weekend.
