Create a printable index of a file system

[Andrew_C]

I’m hoping to create an index of a few directories and export the index for checking and printing. In an ideal world, I would get the following tab or .csv fields so I can stick it into Excel for sorting and printing;

Full file name (X:\Spanish Drills\2S\2S 23), short file name without extension (2S 23), file type, creation date and size.

I would like to just check final directories and entire tree structures.

So, anyone got any cunning plans?

I assume you want something more detailed than c: dir > directory.txt . I do remember PC pro used to have a utillity call filetree pro on it's cover disk but that was a long... time ago

DIR /S/B

would be better as it gives a simple recursive list like the *nix find command. A normal cmd dir /s would give you too much information.

You would then be able to do a normall text sort. I'm not sure if Excel would treat white spaces in filenames a delimeter

Woops didn't read all of your post.
You may also want to consider using the for command with the /R switch and then using the %~dti format to get extra information on the same line.

Don't know if this would fit your requirements - not sure if you meant you wanted to extract data or just publish it.

If it was the latter, what about dir2html?
