dir without path?

I need to use the dir command to get a listing of files off the CD-ROM. But
I do not what the path in the names of the files. I tried:

dit /s /b > d:\DVDs\DVD1.txt

But this gives the path. Is there some switch that I can use to avoid the
drive letter in the list? thanks.

George,

Try this:

for /r "e:\" %i in (*.*) do @echo %~nxi

where e:\ is your CD/DVD drive letter. When used in batch scripts,
double percent signs (%%i instead of %i).

Hi Alexander,

that doesn't return the path.


This should do: (doesn't include dir names, ordered by name,ext)

for /f "tokens=*" %A in ('dir /B/A-D/S/ONE G:\*') do @echo/%~pnxA

Excellent Alexander. Worked pretty good. I put what you had in a bat file
called name.bat and did this in the folder where I want to place these
listings:

name > BIBLE1.txt.

What I got was the listing just as I asked for and the command itself in the
bat. I should lead the bat off with
@echo off
?

OK here we go. Without a bat file:

D:\DVDs\(for /R "h::\" %i in (*.*) do @echo %~nxi) > BIBLE1.txt

where h: is the CD-ROM drive. Thanks.

In a batch file the % used to note for variables (e.g., %a, %i)
must be doubled (e.g., %%a, %%i).

It's a quirk of the command line versus batch file parsing.
