How can I list and print files in a directory?

Question

I am trying to do this, but not printing anything:

Dir -Recurse "C:\temp" | Select Fullname

It looks like this command just selects the file names. I want to see them in the console.

Answer 1

Take a look at Get-Childitem

Dir -Recurse c:\path\ | Get-Childitem

Answer 2

Regarding your code in the question.

Your team should work as is. In fact, you are already calling Get-ChildItem. If you check Get-Alias, you will see what I'm trying to tell you.

PS C:\users\Cameron\Downloads> Get-Alias dir

CommandType     Name                                               ModuleName                                                                                               
-----------     ----                                               ----------                                                                                               
Alias           dir -> Get-ChildItem  

You translate the code into

Get-ChildItem -Recurse "C:\temp" | Select Fullname

, , , , . , ? PowerShell? ( Get-Host).

, , . , - ?

, , , Get-ChildItem

Dir -Recurse c:\path\ | Get-Childitem

C:\TEMP\TEST
│   File1.txt
│   File2.txt
│
└───Folder1
        File3.txt

, .
