Xcopy help

[coffee]

I am trying to use xcopy to create a list of the dirs and sub dirs
within my source dir, and write it to a text file.

this is what I have:
D:\> xcopy D:\docs /t /e /s /l > xcopy.txt

However, all I get is a file with "6704 File(s)"

Without /t i get a list of all the files, which I don't want.

Can xcopy do what I want?

Try diruse, google for it.

Why don't you use DIR -- it's designed for making a list of files.
(Hint: DIR /? and look at the description of the /B option.)

XCOPY is designed for, well, copying. Listing the copied files is
just a side effect.

this is what I have:
D:\> xcopy D:\docs /t /e /s /l > xcopy.txt

Without /t i get a list of all the files, which I don't want.

HUH??? Earlier you said you _did_ want a list.

Well, nobody and nothing can do what you want till you decide what
that is.

Have you considered:

dir D:\docs /s > xcopy.txt

Have you considered:

dir D:\docs /s > xcopy.txt

Excellent, finally got what I need with this:
dir D:\docs /s /b /a > xcopy.txt

thanks Robert
