Likely DIRCMD environment variable has a "/P" somewhere to pause on each full page of text. Enter SET to display the list of variables, and change DIRCMD by entering SET DIRCMD=/-p Alternatively a DIR /-P also works My use to locat the first valid file I want to search for, for example is: @ECHO OFF SET /E RESULT=DIR /S /-P C:\MYFILE.BAT IF EXIST %RESULT% echo First result: %result% IF NOT EXIST %RESULT% echo File wasn't found SET RESULT= (and the IF EXIST is to handle the feedback by DIR, as it returns text even in case no file was found) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
