Printing folder list

[dvs]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I have a storage disk with several hundred folders in it. I want to print a
list of all the top-level folders; I don't need to list second-level folders
or even what files are in the top-level folders.

The only way I know to do this is to open a DOS window in that drive and Go
to File>Edit>Select all>Copy then paste it into a Word doc. But then I have
to edit out all the date and size info.

Does anyone know of a utility that can do this for me?

TIA,
DVS

From a command line, type this:

dir "C:\Program Files\" > C:\folders.txt

This will do a directory command of "C:\Program Files" (replace with your
drive" and type the results into a file called C:\folders.txt

Then open this text document and print.

You can do a lot with formatting the dir command to...i recommend adding a
/w flag to get rid of some of the other stuff and put it into columns, like
this:

dir /w "C:\Program Files\" > C:\folders.txt

Not sure what the flag would be to show only directories, but i'm sure it's
somewhere.
Type: dir /? for more flags on the dir command.

Hope this helps,

Jason, I tried your suddestion, but it does basically the same thing as what
I was doing before. I am trying to get the list to come out without any info
but the names of folders in the drive.

Thanks anyway.

From the command prompt (Start > Run > Cmd.exe), simply change to
the desired directory and type "dir > filelist.txt" or "dir > lpt1,"
just as you used to do in DOS. Any of the switches for the DIR
command (type "dir /?") will work with this command, if you wish to
modify the output. You can then subsequently edit the resulting text
file using NotePad, WordPad, Word, etc.

Try the freeware/shareware sites- there are several utilities.

I use ExpPrint at http://www.jddesign.co.uk/ - loads of options to get
exactly what you want, and you can print or save to a text file, and is
configurable info as needed. Part of what they say:
a.. Prints any combination of Name, Size, Type, and the 3 file time stamp
values.
b.. Comprehensive sorting capabilities.
c.. Flexible indentation formatting.
d.. Configurable fonts and colours for different sections of the printout
for ease of identification.
e.. Output to printer or text file. Text output can be loaded into
spreadsheets for further processing.
Until you've registered ExpPrint, you can't save or restore the settings, so
you'll probably need to make a note of the settings you use. We felt it was
better to let you try out the full set of features, rather than restrict the
functionality in a non-registered version.

I'll go along with the Microsoft reference here - with a few mods.

1) For the PRINT version, Microsoft's version

@echo off
dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\Listing"
start /w notepad /p "%temp%\Listing"
del "%temp%\Listing"
exit

Note that "/o:gn" is an ordering option (group-directories-first, order
alphabetically by name)

In your case, use

dir %1 /-p /a:d /b > "%temp%\Listing"

(/a:d = directories (folders) only ; /b=bare format - no date/size etc.
data)

1) For the EDIT-IN-WORD version, try

@echo off
dir %1 /-p /a:d /b > c:\dirlist.doc
start "" c:\dirlist.doc

where ".DOC" I presume invokes WORD (.TXT no doubt would invoke NOTEPAD)

If you add "/s" to the "dir" switches, you get the entire subdirectory tree
directory names. (Might not be what you WANT to do, but for completeness'
sake...)

The command line for what you wanted should be

DIR *. /B > C:\folders.txt

the /B is for bare.

Is there a way to create a folder tree in html with collapsible
structure?
