On Windows, we can see directory content using the DIR command.

I want to know, how can one see the list of only those files which have particular extension, e.g I want to see list of all .txt files, what command I should run?

Dir supports wildcards, so:

dir *.txt

DIR wont allow what you are trying to do. However DIR along with FINDSTR can solve this.

e.g. The following ignores all .txt files in the DIR listing.

dir | findstr /v /i "\.txt$"
