      Copy the information, not the files.


      Try this.

      Dir >dir.txt

      Open up dir.txt and find all the information that would have been printed on the screen.

        When we copy the files, the information is inside the files.  Rem_bc, the OP(original poster) needs the information and not just the file names.

          Maybe should let Rem_bc, the original poster, decide what he needs?

            Copy it where? What information? the dir command output? the files themselves? Please try to me more specific.

            Not certain why the wildcard is used in the output file name.

            Code: [Select]
            @echo off
            dir "C:\Documents and Settings\User" > dir.txt

            If you want to see the output, add type dir.txt as the last line in the batch file.

                  Mountains vs Molehills.

                  "Making a mountain out of a molehill or over-reaction is to make too much of a minor issue. In cognitive psychology, this form of cognitive distortion is called magnification."
