      I wonder why  ::) ::)

      To save dos results to a text file, you just have to use '>>'s

      Example:

      Code: [Select]
      dir C:\path\ /s >>"C:\sample.txt"

              the C:\path was an example where you change 'path' to where you want to Dir.

              'Path' is just the example.

              I would post 'C:\path' and he would change it to (for example) 'C:\documents and settings' or something.

                  When I plug in my flash drive (E:\), it works fine.

                  dir E:\ /s>>"C:\file.txt"

                  It is possible the code is right but the flash drive isn't allowing this.

                    First of all, does the dir E:\ /s work at all? Is the problem saving the file?
