    Would Like a "Simple" Batch file, I think...
    « on: March 28, 2010, 11:23:43 AM »
    Can't find a way to create a text file of all files on a drive sorted by Dir, sub dir.. with attributes.
    It seems simple, but I am not getting it!

    Can anyone help?

    This little snippet may help:

    Code: [Select]
    @echo off
    for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /s /b /a d:\') do (
      attrib "%%i" >> dir.txt
    ) 

    Be sure to change the drive letter in the dir command and you might want to add path information to the output file (dir.txt)

    Good luck.  8)

      This is what I am using:
      Code: [Select]
      @echo off
      for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('c: /s /b /a d:\') do (
        attrib "%%i" >> c:\dir.txt
      ) 
      notepad c:\dir.txt
      and I get a blank notepad doc.

      Thus, It doesn't seem to be working for me.

      hmm...

      tree /f does everything you want except showing attributes.

        attrib "%%i" >> d:\dir.txt
      )

        Alternative, better attribute info by using %%~a variable modifier to get a 9 char attribute string, explanation below,

        Code: [Select]
        @echo off
        del d:\dir.txt
        for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /s /b /a d:\') do (
          echo %%~ai %%~dpnxi >> d:\dir.txt
         )

        note that in 4,5 and 6 'file' should read 'file or directory', possibly 7 and 8 too
