Directory date

I've been unsuccessfully looking for a program that will recurse a folder
tree and create a list of the folders - folders only, no files - and the
creation date. Anyone know of such?

Well, on a UNIX box, I'd do:
$ find . -type d -exec ls -ldt {} \;

On a Windoze box, I'd install Cygwin, and then do the same thing. Hmm,
might vary the options to ls a bit.

The dir command can do this if you do not find a program to handle it.


These are the switches for XP:

/A Displays files with specified attributes.
D Directories

/S Displays files in specified directory and all
subdirectories.

/T Controls which time field displayed or used for sorting
C Creation


from a prompt type: "dir /A /T:C /S > c:\dir.txt"

to create your list as file "C:\dir.txt"

A partial "dir.txt" from my machine:

Will this fit the bill?

Not quite. It is a handy program and I use it from time to time. However,
as it should, it gives new dates to the new directory tree rather than
retaining the dates of those from which it copied. Thanks for the
suggestion though.

Thanks. Looks like that's the way I'll have to go. My switches are a bit
different than yours but that's no problem. I can't figure a way to get a
recursive listing of directories though, is there one?

Yes, I'm sure there is. You can open a DOS window and type:

"dir /?"

to get a list of the available switches for your version of Windows.

"dir /? > c:\dir.text" (to write the info to a text file)

On XP Pro the switch is "/S"

"Displays files in a specified folder and in all subdirectories"

For all practical reasons, a file and a folder are the same thing. The
other switch limits the results to only folders, and the other switch
forces the creation time to be displayed.

c:\winnt> dir /s /a:d (win2k)
note: it also lists . and ..., which might be annoying.
furthermore, as for the date, win2000 change it if you write something in
the dir. afaik dir doesnt list the creation date.
interesting idea, though. if there's nothing already, i see if i can write a
simple vbapp for that.
ciao, j.

On mine too. Trouble is, it had no effect. Turns out that was because I
use special icons on many of my folders...change back to the system icon and
it works fine. Thanks.
