Recursively List all directories and files

In windows, to list only directories:

dir /ad /b /s

to list all files (and no directories):

dir /a-d /b /s

redirect the output to a file:

dir /a-d /b /s > filename.txt

dir command parameters explained on wikipedia

Bash/Linux Shell

Directories:

find ./ -type d 

Files:

find ./ -type f 

Bash/Shell Into a file

Directories:

find ./ -type d  > somefile.txt

Files:

find ./ -type f  > somefile.txt

in shell:

find . -type d

gives directories from current working directory, and:

find . -type f

gives files from current working directory.

Replace . by your directory of interest.

On Windows, you can do it like this as most flexibile solution that allows you to additionally process dir names.

You use FOR /R to recursively execute batch commands.

Check out this batch file.

@echo off
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion

SET N=0
for /R %%i in (.) do (
     SET DIR=%%i

     ::put anything here, for instance the following code add dir numbers.
     SET /A N=!N!+1
     echo !N! !DIR!
)

Similary for files you can add pattern as a set instead of dot, in your case

 (*.*)

In Linux, a simple

find . -printf '%y %p\n'

will give you a list of all the contained items, with directories and files mixed. You can save this output to a temporary file, then extract all lines that start with 'd'; those will be the directories. Lines that start with an 'f' are files.

In Windows :

dir /ad /b /s

dir /a-d /b /s
