Dir commandthat displays each file with complete path, with file sizes

[charles gentry]

I'm looking for a dir command that displays each file with complete path, with file sizes. "dir /s /b" doesn't show sizes.

The /b (bare) tells it not to show file sizes. Don't use the /b switch. there is no switch to have it show the full path. You will need to find a utility other than "dir".

Hi Hawkeye,
Strangely enough, the /s /b combination does give full paths; it just doesn't give file sizes. Thanks for replying. Chas

That's weird. The help says /b is bare and when I do a dir /s/b on my xp computer all I get is the full path/filename. I'm not sure if ls comes standard on xp. Try this:

ls -R -s

That's a capital R and lower case s.

Thanks - I'll try this as soon as I figure out how to make Unix commands work.

Yeah, it works on my xp machine, but I can't remember if it came with the system or if I installed some developer tool that added this in.

@REM =======================
@REM newdir.cmd
@echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

FOR /R . %F in (*) DO (
set y=0000000000%%~zF
echo %%~tF !y:~-10! %%~fF )
@echo on
@REM =======================

run command: newdir
or to sort by size
run command: newdir | sort /+21

obviously can add arguments to make it better

set arg1=%1 @rem expecting . or directory eg c:\tmp\
set arg2=%2 @rem expecting wildcard * or *.tmp or *.bak

FOR /R %arg1% %%F in (%arg2%) DO ( ....

~?F e.g. ~zF values examples are:
~a attributes,
~d drive ,
~f full filename,
~n name of file without ext,
~p = folder(s),
~s= short filename,
~t = datetime stamp,
~x=ext,
~z = size in bytes

Cheers

Thanks LAMS. I will try it. Charles

Thanks LAMS. I will try it. Charles

oops stuff up it should be %%F instead of %F in the text file that is saved as
newdir.cmd

@REM =======================
@REM newdir.cmd
@echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

FOR /R . %%F in (*) DO (
set y=0000000000%%~zF
echo %%~tF !y:~-10! %%~fF )
@echo on
@REM =======================

run command: newdir
or to sort by size
run command: newdir | sort /+21
