Printing a directory tree

[Nickjr]

I've tried to print a directory tree, with file names
from the command prompt by going to the root directory
and using the " dir > prn " command. All that happens
is that I get the tree shown on the screen. What is the
secret??????????????????????????????

Greetings --

From the command prompt (Start > Run > Cmd.exe), simply change to
the desired directory and type "tree > filetree.txt" or "tree > lpt1,"
just as you used to do in DOS. Any of the switches for the TREE
command (type "tree /?") will work with this command, if you wish to
modify the output. You can then subsequently edit the resulting text
file using NotePad, WordPad, Word, etc.

Hi,

Open a command prompt (start/run cmd), go to the folder of choice.

Run "dir> file.txt". This will create a text file of the contents of the
folder that you can open in notepad for printing or saving.

If you wish to add the contents of the subdirectories, run "dir
<drive><folder> /s> file.txt".

If you head to google.com and search on "free directory printer", you will
also find many other useful tools.

Bruce gave you the how-to and as for the prn not working it is because your
printer isn't hooked into prn (Maybe USB printer?)
Another nice option is here:

XP does not have a real DOS - just an emulation - and redirection to PRN
is likely not to work. You might redirect to LPT1: is you have a
printer on parallel port, if though you have a USB one, cut the corner
and use
DIR > C:\list.txt
or other file name, then print that in Windows using Notepad


You will need the /S switch to DIR to get a full listing with
subfolders, and probably /B to abbreviate the information listed. The
TREE /F command sounds more what you want

Download Karen's Directory Printer. DirPrn.exe With Directory Printer,
click on the C: drive, click a dot before "Both" (files & directories),
click a check in the box before "include subdirectories".

I just did it and it and got bored and stopped it with over 11,000 files and
565 directories.
