Re: List of files w/i a directory

[Paul Kent <jopakent -at- comcast -dot- net>]

Thanks to all who responded with the /s switch and the > symbol. That might do the trick if I can figure out what to do with my folder names. It doesn't look like I can change them and I don't see how to get DOS to look past the spaces in the folder names. I tried %20, but that didn't seem to work.

DIR > filename 

The path, and/or file sort criteria go in between the DIR and the >. If 
nothing is inserted, the command will default to all files in the 
current directory.
