Command Prompt (CMD); Two issues about DIR command

[Salmon Trout]

thats the problem, you can't use for loops in the command prompt without a script.

That is not so; at the prompt you just use one % sign in the loop variables (instead of two)

Code: [Select]


S:\Test>for /f "tokens=1,2,3,4,5 delims=\" %a in ('dir /ad /s /b') do @echo %a\%b\%c\%d\%e

hello?

[AT005]

I tried with:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
for /f "tokens=4,5 delims=\" %%a in ('dir /ad /s /b') do echo %%a\%%b
instead of

Code: [Select]

@echo off
for /f "tokens=4,5 delims=\" %%a in ('dir /ad /s /b') do echo %%a\%%b
pause
But even this doesn't do anything.

You are doing something wrong. We do not know what, since you don't give enough information.

You are doing something wrong. We do not know what, since you don't give enough information.

I have tried to use the both codes - of course NOT at the same time. I have pasted them to notepad, each time i saved them as .bat. Firstly used second code but since it doesn't work, I used first one but doesn't work too - two .doc files are still not created. What I wish to have in .doc files is described in my first and second post.

[Salmon Trout]

You left the > filename.doc off the end.

[AT005]

If you meant this:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
for /f "tokens=4,5 delims=\" %%a in ('dir /ad /s /b') do echo %%a\%%b > filename.doc
pause
It does give me the .doc file but just one instead of two and with terrible results inside - completely different from what I was asking 

[Salmon Trout]

I think you are going to have to learn some batch scripting

Why nobody wants to tell me what should I do, in my situation, described in first and third post?
