Got me to thinking that this might be a good chance to ask for some
help, and still in the context of the thread... ;)
>From time to time my users want a listing of all the Documents (*.doc)
in our Policies folders, of which there are subfolders for each
department:
Policies
\Admin
\ER
\IT
.... etc
Problem is the server they are stored on ran/runs FrontPage which has
some requirement to have it's own subfolders named something like
_vti_cnf (some sort of version control thingy I think). Googling around
says not to mess with those, and if you do, FrontPage just recreates
them anyways...
So it really looks like this:
Policies
\Admin
\_vti_cnf
\ER
\_vti_cnf
\IT
\_vti_cnf
.... etc
These _vti_cnf folders are all marked with the Hidden attribute.
So anyway, when I produce the listing I do something like this:
dir *.doc /b /s > myfile.txt
Then I have to edit the file to take out all the lines with _vti_cnf
references.
So taking Paul's suggestion I tried this:
dir /b /s | findstr ".doc" | sort > myfile.txt
Fine, but includes the hidden folders which contain .doc files in them
(the .doc files themselves are not marked as hidden attrib).
So I tried this:
dir /b /s /A-H | findstr ".doc" | sort > myfile.txt
No joy.
So I tried this (figuring I can sort it later):
dir *.doc /b /s /A-H >myfile.txt
I've never used the .not. operator of the /A attrib parameter before,
and in this case it is not being respected. I still get the .doc files
in the hidden folders.
So I guess the command line kung-fu I am wanting is a way to get a list
of all the *.doc files, in all the subdirs that are not marked as
Hidden. (I'll sort it myself later).
Any takers?
