Can I use dir
command-line to get a list of sub-folders and their files, ordered by folder-names, and not just file-names ?
using
dir /s/b/o:gn > f.txt
I first get all sub-folders and only then all sub files, e.g.:
d:\root0\root1\folderA
d:\root0\root1\folderB
d:\root0\root1\file00.txt
d:\root0\root1\file01.txt
d:\root0\root1\folderA\fileA00.txt
d:\root0\root1\folderA\fileA01.txt
d:\root0\root1\folderB\fileB00.txt
d:\root0\root1\folderB\fileB01.txt
But I want to get -
d:\root0\root1\file00.txt
d:\root0\root1\file01.txt
d:\root0\root1\folderA
d:\root0\root1\folderA\fileA00.txt
d:\root0\root1\folderA\fileA01.txt
d:\root0\root1\folderB
d:\root0\root1\folderB\fileB00.txt
d:\root0\root1\folderB\fileB01.txt
["file00.txt" and "file01.txt" can also be at the end of the list]
Thanks,

How about using sort
?
dir /b /s | sort
Here's an example I tested with:
dir /s /b /o:gn
d:\root0
d:\root0\root1
d:\root0\root1\folderA
d:\root0\root1\folderB
d:\root0\root1\file00.txt
d:\root0\root1\file01.txt
d:\root0\root1\folderA\fileA00.txt
d:\root0\root1\folderA\fileA01.txt
d:\root0\root1\folderB\fileB00.txt
d:\root0\root1\folderB\fileB01.txt
dir /s /b | sort
d:\root0
d:\root0\root1
d:\root0\root1\file00.txt
d:\root0\root1\file01.txt
d:\root0\root1\folderA
d:\root0\root1\folderA\fileA00.txt
d:\root0\root1\folderA\fileA01.txt
d:\root0\root1\folderB
d:\root0\root1\folderB\fileB00.txt
d:\root0\root1\folderB\fileB01.txt
To just get directories, use the /A:D
parameter:
dir /a:d /s /b | sort
Hej man, why are you using this ?
dir /s/b/o:gn > f.txt (wrong one)
Don't you know what is that 'g' in '/o' ??
Check this out: http://www.computerhope.com/dirhlp.htm or dir /? for dir help
You should be using this instead:
dir /s/b/o:n > f.txt (right one)
dir /b /a-d /s *.*
will fulfill your requirement.
Command to put list of all files and folders into a text file is as below:
Eg: dir /b /s | sort > ListOfFilesFolders.txt
In command prompt go to the main directory you want the list for ... and type the command tree /f
create a vbs file and copy all code below. Change directory location to wherever you want.
Dim fso
Dim ObjOutFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ObjOutFile = fso.CreateTextFile("OutputFiles.csv")
ObjOutFile.WriteLine("Type,File Name,File Path")
GetFiles("YOUR LOCATION")
ObjOutFile.Close
WScript.Echo("Completed")
Function GetFiles(FolderName)
On Error Resume Next
Dim ObjFolder
Dim ObjSubFolders
Dim ObjSubFolder
Dim ObjFiles
Dim ObjFile
Set ObjFolder = fso.GetFolder(FolderName)
Set ObjFiles = ObjFolder.Files
For Each ObjFile In ObjFiles
ObjOutFile.WriteLine("File," & ObjFile.Name & "," & ObjFile.Path)
Next
Set ObjSubFolders = ObjFolder.SubFolders
For Each ObjFolder In ObjSubFolders
ObjOutFile.WriteLine("Folder," & ObjFolder.Name & "," & ObjFolder.Path)
GetFiles(ObjFolder.Path)
Next
End Function
Save the code as vbs and run it. you will get a list in that directory
