How may I capture (as a text file) the *results* of a file
search? Including *all* the columns shown.

I want to send the results in an e-mail.

Start
Run
type
CMD
click OK

navigate to the folder you want to search

type
dir /s
press enter

this will display the options available for the DIR command. You can
"pipe" the results of this command to a text file rather than the
screen, for example

.... if you were to navigate to your C:\WINNT folder by typing
CD\WINNT
press OK

type
DIR *.exe > list.txt
press enter

any files with the exe extender will be listed in the file called
list.txt that has been created from the command. This file can be
imported into Excel or emailed or whatever. Hope that helps ... there's
a wealth of options to play with to sort results etc ...

Hi

Use the free Agent Ransack instead to search for files...

Agent Ransack can save the search result to a file (or clipboard), as text,
comma separated text or tab separated text.
