Want to print a list of directories and sub-directroies in Win XP, printer is a USB connection so I figure I will need a batch file to do the job.
Not sure of the wording of the file
by thechas
XP does not support many of the old DOS commands used in batch files.
Why not download a 3rd party utility that does the job?
1 is Z-Tree. www.ztree.com
This file manager is an update of the popular X-Tree DOS file manager. Included in the functions is a tree print.
You can look through and try the file managers at www.nonags.com There are several that offer more functions than Windows Explorer.

I just checked another program I have.
Power Desk has an option to print a tree.
You can download a free version from www.v-com.com
I have not tried version 5 yet, so I'm not sure that it has the same functions.
As far as creating a program to print your folder tree, you might want to look into either dot-net, or visual basic.
There may even be code at Tech Republic's sister site www.builder.com.com

You dont even need a batch file. Open a command window. Type Dir c: /A /B /O /S > C:\test.txt and then enter. Wait for a fresh prompt to be returned, Then open the file C:\test.text in your favorite word processor and print from there.
One step further:
To find all hidden files with all of their statistics (size, date, owner, etc)
type Dir c: /A:h /O /S > C:\test.txt
Dir /? will display the information to tweek the above commands to get exactly what you want.
The redirection command > sends the output of the preceding command to the file name, Port name (LPT1, COM1, CON, PRN). If you use >> it will append the curent data to the end of an existing file.
