I am trying to print a list of the folders and sub folders of a directory to a file.
When I run dir /s/b/o:n > f.txt
, I get a list of the files also. I only need the folders and sub folders.
Anyone know is this possible to do this from command line interface?
Try this:
dir /s /b /o:n /ad > f.txt
Displays a list of files and subdirectories in a directory.
DIR [ drive:][path][filename] [/A[[:]attributes]] [/B] [/C] [/D] [/L] [/N]
[/O[[:]sortorder]] [/P] [/Q] [/R] [/S] [/T[[:]timefield]] [/W] [/X] [/4]
[drive:][path][filename]
Specifies drive, directory, and/or files to list.
/A Displays files with specified attributes.
attributes D Directories R Read-only files
H Hidden files A Files ready for archiving
S System files I Not content indexed files
L Reparse Points - Prefix meaning not
just set type of desired file attribute, in your case /A:D (directory)
dir /s/b/o:n/A:D > f.txt
I used dir /s /b /o:n /a:d
, and it worked perfectly, just make sure you let the file finish writing, or you'll have an incomplete list.
dir /ad /b /s will give the requried answer
