Search for files with no extension?

[KeithXP]

I need to find files located in a directory tree which have no extension,
but I cannot see any way to search for them.

In most cases searching for filenames with no period (.) in them would
work - there might be the odd file which has a period in the filename but no
extension (for example anodd.filename). However, I can't see a way to search
for filenames with no period either!!

Any ideas?

thanks

Download and install Agent Ransack from:

http://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/download.aspx

It's a FREE file search utility that's faster, more user friendly, and less system
intensive than the Windows XP Search/For Files or Folders. You can type in part of a file
name, and click the Start Search button. Once you use Agent Ransack, you won't want to
use the Windows XP native Search again.

Try
start > run > cmd
dir *. /s /a-d > output.txt

This generates a file called output.txt of extensionless files in the start
directory and all subdirectories

Actually, on looking a second time, I see that this would list files which
have trailing period but no extension.

Unfortunately, the files I am looking for have no period either.

thanks for the suggestion though.
