• Program to list all directories?
    15 replies, posted
I need a program that will list all files and folders within a specific location and then dump them to a text file or something. Like if I choose disc D: it will show [quote] D:/folder1/ -file1 -file2 D:/folder2/ -file1 -file2 [/quote] Or something similar. Ability to customize output template is a plus. I know windows has this tree command, but it doesn't seem to list files. Thanks
In command prompt: [code] cd D:\ dir /s /b > list.txt [/code] would output all directories and files within the sub-directories to a text file. Basically everything on your D drive. It won't be pretty, just a plain old list of everything.
Open up Command Prompt do: [code]tree /f D:\[/code] or whichever directory you wish. Edit -> Copy Open up notepad Edit -> Paste etc The /f switch makes it display files as well as folders.

[code] tree /f /a > list.txt [/code] would output to a text file.
Nobody checks /? anymore. Tisk tisk. :wink:
where would that text file be output to? i tried the above and nothing happened.
[QUOTE=Mattk50;24624362]where would that text file be output to? i tried the above and nothing happened.[/QUOTE] I think the same directory you put, or the active directory. (ie, if it says "C:\Users\<username>" then it gets put there.) You can always specify the direct path to the text file you want: [code]/a > C:\list.txt[/code]

I think my cmd is broken. When I type "cd D:\folder" nothing happens. But if it's in C: it works just fine.
[QUOTE=johan_sm;24625507]I think my cmd is broken. When I type "cd D:\folder" nothing happens. But if it's in C: it works just fine.[/QUOTE] Does the folder exist?
[QUOTE=Makuuta;24625540]Does the folder exist?[/QUOTE] Yes. It's right there. It doesn't work. If I move that folder to C drive and use C instead of D it works just fine
[QUOTE=johan_sm;24625581]Yes. It's right there. It doesn't work. If I move that folder to C drive and use C instead of D it works just fine[/QUOTE] Try typing "D:" and try again?
if cmd is anything like good old DOS, type "D:" in the prompt and it will go to whatever folder you specified with CD. shit's funky when switching drives.
When I type CD D: it switches to D but then quickly switches back to default folder than is on c :(
not cd d:, just d:
Thanks. It works
