DOS Question

    I am looking to get a list of all files included in a directory , down into the sub dir's aswell.
    I was thinking that maybe DOS might be the job. Anyone any ideas? I thought DOS had a LIST command, but no joy.
    Basically I am qualifying a software installation and need to generate a list of what files has been installed.

    Cheers

    dir /s

    I think that's what you want.

    Yes PaulW that's the one . Do you know if it would be possible to export that into a txt file. Otherwise I will have to do the /p switch and take a print screen of each paused screen

    dir /s /b > c:\filename.txt

    this will list the content of the current folder and all of its subfolders and put it in a file called filename.txt at the root of your c drive.

    The /b switch will remove all date and size attributes, making list cleaner
    Remove it if you need the info.
