List files in all subfolders

[Ruriko]

I have a directory with a bunch of subfolders (contains special/chinese characters) I want to create a txt file in each subfolder that will list all the files in that subfolder. I am running Windows Server 2003. How can I do this with CMD? or any other tools

This lists all the files (and only the files) in the current directory:

for /r %i in (*) do echo %i

Also if you run that command in a batch file you need to double the % signs.

for /r %%i in (*) do echo %%i

it lists the file but it doesn't create the txt file

Just use the other one I made and add the dir like this

@setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
@echo off
chcp 65001 > nul
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /ad /b /s') do ( @echo %%~nxa > %%a\test.nfo
dir /b %%a\*.* >> %%a\test.nfo  )

Doesn't seem to work all it does is gives me the folder name instead of listing all the files in that subfolder

If you have sub folders in folders it will show those along with the file names. It is working fine for me..

Let me add the chinese folders back and see how it works..

Ok try this one

@echo off
chcp 65001 > nul
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /ad /b /s') do (
pushd somedir
cd %%a
for /f "delims=" %%f in ('dir /b /a-d-h-s') do ( @echo %%~nxa > test.nfo 
@echo %%f >> test.nfo)
popd
)

ok that one works now
