Here is the step by step on how to create a list of files in specific folder / drive using command prompt (command.exe).
- Use DIR Command To Generate List Of Files And Store It In File
- DIR /S /B /A:-D
- I use simple DIR command to generate file lists. It serves me in many scenarios. For example, I use it to generate .Net assemblies list when I conduct preliminary scan as part of code inspection process. Here are the explanations to the switches:
* /S - search sub folders
* /B - bare format, no summaries and headings
* /A:-D - no directories, files only - To save generated list of files into text file simply add > C:\myfileslist.txt. The resulting command would look as follows:
- DIR /S /B /A:-D *.DLL > C:\myfileslist.txt
