genaration of folder and sub folder names 1

[PhilGooch]

is there a way that I can generate a list of folders and sub folders within one path? eg. If I have a folder called "D:\parts" can a get a list of all folders and sub folders within that?

The reason I ask is that I need to generate a series of search paths and typing them in will take hours even with great use of "copy" and "paste" !!

Try Directory Printer

no doubt there are other programs out there but that's my preference...Mike

You could also just write a small program to do this. Do you have Excel? If so, and if you want, I can whip up a quick program that will output the directory structure to a spreadsheet. Just let me know. DimensionalSolutions@Core.com

i need this list to be a .txt document and to be structured like:

D:\parts\12D:\parts\12\abcD:\parts\12\xyz\sde\zsde
etc.

Even easier, go back to DOS.

If you want the directory structure of D:\Parts

Start>Programs>MS DOS Prompt

dir d:\parts\*. /s/b > list.txt

The list will be stored in the file list.txt

Hope this helps... DimensionalSolutions@Core.com

If you use Outlook (not Express), you can print out a drives contents just as if you were looking at it with Explorer.

On the left-hand menu at the bottom, select the Other Shortcuts tab. Then search in My Computer or My Documents as you would normally do in Explorer. Once you display the directory information you are looking for, simply Print.

Play around with it, and you can even figure out how to change the column headers of the displayed info. Great feature for generating quick check lists of items. "Happy the Hare at morning for she is ignorant to the Hunter's waking thoughts."

Open dos prompt.
Dir C:*. /s >dirlist.txt

Open dirlist.txt with Notepad or even import it to Excel. Edit to suit.

There are many options available here - type dir /? to find them
The >filename.txt is a redirect command. You can do >lpt1 or >prn if you just want a printed list.
