Utility to write directory structure in a text file ?

[ROcHE]

I have a lot of cds and I want to make some kind of inventory. Is there a utility that can write the directory structure of a disk in a text file? I think that the old "dir" could do this but I don't remember how.

Anyone?

I use Karen's Directory Printer for this exact thing....

DIR [directory] /S /AD > textfile.txt

Example (assuming your CD-ROM drive letter is "D"):
DIR D:\ /S /AD > textfile.txt

Don't include the brackets when you type the directory/folder. Place it inside of a text file and rename the extention to "BAT" and you have an executable "program".

/S - Checks all subdirectories

/AD - Lists folders and not files

>filename.ext - Redirects text output to a file
>>filename.ext - Adds the text to the end of an existing text file without replacing it

Thanks for answers.

You might want to add the /B parameter to the dir command for printing the file list. The parameter is for bare format.

find . -type d > /tmp/listing .txt

tree -x -d . > /tmp/listing.txt

Download a real file organizer like Elcomsoft's Advanced Disk Catalog.. It's very nice, and there are many similar programs available...

And if you don't remember how to use Dir, type "Dir /?" at your command prompt.
