The idea is to list all the folders in a directory on a hard drive in order to print it on a large format.
Could you be specific in the procedure to follow.
Thank you
Kind regards

Hello
I know of a program that might be suitable:
freeCommander
http://www.freecommander.com/fr/
It is freeware and has a lot of 'pluses' compared to some explorers (folder size, double panel, 'View file' function etc)
For the production of print listings:
>menu: Dossier | Create the folder list
-> a list will be created in a text file to be consulted, including the list of files classified by subfolders, with their sizes.
But there's a simpler way: do it yourself
In a Command Prompt window
[#0000ff]
> for on-screen viewing:[/#0000ff]
. Move to a drive or directory using DOS commands
. Type Command: DIR /S
XP will output a report categorized by folders and subfolders with the sizes
[#0000ff]
> for viewing and saving the report as a text file[/#0000ff]:
. type the command: DIR /S > C:\liste.txt
C:\liste.txt in this case being the file that will receive the
A very brief reminder of the main Back commands:
---------------------------------------------------
C: or D: etc -> change disks
CD\-> be placed at the root of the disk
CD nom_dossier -> is placed on a folder
CD.. -> is placed on the parent directory
DIR --> displays the files in the
DIR /P --> ditto, but page by page
help on the DIR syntax: type DIR /? /P
There you go

Hello
There is free software to create the list in Excel.
http://xlfilelister-file-listing-utility.softonic.fr/
I've never tried.
S.B
Edit:
There is also Rep-listing
http://www.ophtajpa.com/replisting.htm
The next one does something nicer with icons, but it would be a native output file.

Good evening
I tried http://xlfilelister-file-listing-utility.softonic.fr/ as @s.b. says and it's very practical.
We take a file and make a list of everything it contains.
After a little cleaning in Excel and it's good.
It works on DWGs, DXFs (and MP3s, AVIs and other lols) but never try with SW
Hello
You have to type this, after launching a command prompt window:
dir /A:D /b /s c:\monrep > monfichier.txt
/A:D allows you to list the folders
Replace c:\myrep with the path of the directory to list
The text file is created in the MyRep folder

Hello, a little clarification about batches under dos: if your files have special characters, you must use a character table that includes them, otherwise, you may have surprises in your list.
Try in the first line of batch: "CHCP 1252"
Then, when you have the list in a text file, it is possible to use this data by selecting only a part of it.
ex:
CHCP 1252
set SurF=0
set Counter=0
echo -- Phase 1: Generating the file list --
dir *.dxf>liste_dxf.txt /B /S
echo -- *.tld.dxf list generated! --
echo -- Phase 2: Copying .dxf files to .dwg --
FOR /F "delims=. tokens=1" %%i IN (liste_dxf.txt) DO (
copy "%%i.dxf" "%%i.dwg" /Y >titi.txt
set /A SurF=! SurF!+1
)
echo -- Phase 2 completed: you have! On! Files--
Break
Have a nice day
