When you use this command with the DIR sign, nothing will appear on the screen, since the idea of the command is to save the result in a text file instead of displaying it. However, the following command gives a list of the files with their full path and an automatic path to the subdirectories and is more compact:Īs you may have noticed, the DIR command shows the contents of the directory on the screen, while the > sign in simple terms means: everything to the left of the sign will be shown/saved in that which is to the right of the sign. The previous method lists the files in a directory with all of their details, but has the disadvantage of adding two lines of presentation to the directory at the beginning of the result and two lines with the sum of the total size of the files and their number at the end. This symbol has the same function as the > sign, but does not delete the file contents, but rather adds the result obtained by the command.
If you want to include the contents of more directories in the same file, just execute the DIR command and for each subsequent directory, use the > sign.
This can be achieved by using the > address sign. In MS-DOS (or in Windows from the command prompt) it is possible to send the information obtained by the DIR command to a text file instead of displaying it on the screen.
