Windows – how to list all files and directories in given directory with full path but not recursive

command linedirlswindowswindows xp

Somehow like dir /b command but I need also hidden and system files there. Built in dir command doesn't allow to list such 'hidden' files with the rest and I must use /s to have full path in there, which is of course non recursive.

I also played with windows version of ls command and there also no luck. To display full path you must add asterisk (mydir\*) at the end of directory you are listing, but this makes it recursive.

If you don't want to install anything, you could also use the following command:

for /f "delims=" %a in ('cd') do @for /f %b in ('dir /b /a') do @echo %a\%b

You have to cd into the directory first or it won't work.

dir > textfile.txt

will export (pipe) it to a plain text file. You can do whatever you want with it afterwards.

If you wish to append, use two >>'s

dir >> textfile.txt

If you wish the file to be in another directory, just use

dir > c:\temp\textfile.txt

Without timestamp

dir/b

for example ?

Linux – List all directories and subdirectories, excluding directories without files

Here's one way: list all regular files, strip away the file basenames, and remove duplicates.

find . -type f | sed 's!/[^/]*$!!' | sort -u

If you want to strip the leading ./:

find . -type f | sed -e 's!/[^/]*$!!' -e 's!^\./!!' | sort -u
