Dirtree printouts?

[Takitothemacs]

anyone know of any commands around these days that will allow me to print the directory tree out without having to piece it together from a load of screenshots... and in some instances even print out file lists with attriutes etc...

sure Xest will remember the days when this could be done from DOS...

Think the closest you'll get is just dumping it to a text file using something like:

dir /s > blah.txt

Can add some other options in, /B removes all the crap and you can use /A to filter results:

dir /AD /S /B > test.txt

Will list all the directories only into test.txt with no crap for example. The /S switch is key for iterating through all subdirectories and including them in the output dump. If you need owner information you'll have to use /Q, I don't think you can get it to print further NTFS permissions like you can on *nix systems though.

If you want anything more powerful than the dir switches will allow then you'll probably have to hack together a quick and dirty Perl/Python/Windows Scripting Host script.
