Batch file; List of files in a directory, only file names?

Question

This is probably a very simple question, but I have problems with it. Basically, I'm trying to write a batch file, and I need it to display all the files in a specific directory. The dir command will do this, but also provide a ton of other information; I want it to display ONLY file names and exclude something else.

I want the result to look like this:

 file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt 

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Full team:

 dir /b /ad 

Let me figure it out

Basically, /b is what you are looking for.

/ad will exclude directory names.

See dir /? For more information. for other arguments that you can use with the dir command.

Answer 2

You can also try the following:

 for %%a in (*) do echo %%a 

Using the for loop, you can echo delete all the file names of the current directory.

Answer 3

If you also need subdirectories, you need the "dir" command and the "For" command

 dir /b /s DIRECTORY\*.* > list1.txt for /f "tokens=*" %%A in (list1.txt) do echo %%~nxA >> list.txt del list1.txt 

put your root directory in the dir command. It will create list1.txt with full paths and then list.txt with just the file names.

dir / s / d / a: -d "file.txt

And lose / s if you don't need files from subfolders
