    Hello,

    Windows 7 - Looking for DOS batch file help.
    I was hoping someone could help me out.  Looking to get a list of directories that don't contain a certain 2nd level folder.  If this folder is there I don't want the parent directory listed.
    I was hoping for this to be inside a batch file that I could just execute and it gives me a "txt" file with the directory listing I want.

    Example:

    Photos.January.2002
      >edited (2nd level folder is there, do not list)
    Photos.February.2003
      >edited (2nd level folder is there, do not list)
    Photos.December.2004
      > (no edited folder, please list this folder.

    I would end up with a "txt" file that shows only Photos.December.2004.

    I cant seem to figure out the "dir" and or "findstr" command to pull this data.  I am able to get a directory list of the entire folder, I can use findstr to get a listing of the folders that have edited in them, but not the ones that don't.

    Thanks for your help.
