I need to create a text file of a directory on a drive in one location
and send on to my home computer by email. I could easily put
directory lists in a .txt file under DOS but have not found a way to
do it on XP.

I tried the search or find on XP but it saved an empty find rather
than what it actually found.

I looked on Google and scanned here but with no luck.

Is there a way?

Thanks

So do it in DOS. What's the problem? Start, Run, cmd <enter>.

up, you can marry any girl you please." When I became a young man, I
learned the sad fact was that I could not please any of them.

Start | Run <type in>
%windir%\hh.exe ms-its:%systemroot%/Help\ntcmds.chm::/ntcmds.htm
<enter>

For a listing of all DOS (CMD) commands available to you, closest I
came to was NET SEND

Nahhh...all he needs is a command prompt, a dir redirect, and pick it up
with his Windows-based email client and email it to himself. Why make it
difficult?

Start, Run, cmd <enter>
cd /xxxx (Change to the folder he wants the list from)
dir > dir.txt <enter> (typical command options applied as desired)
exit
email above file home.

Especially since in XP, sending files with net send is apparently no longer
supported.

Then

Start | Run <type in> CMD /K dir c:\temp > task & notepad task <enter>

I notice'd that and couldn't delete the message and didn't feel like
including an follow-up, if you play around with NET SEND you finally
get:

C:\temp>net send help
Sending files is no longer supported.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3777.

C:\temp>net helpmsg 3777

Sending files is no longer supported.

XP is capable of running a new 'linux like' command shell:

Kewl! It's over my head, and a bit overkill for what the OP had in mind, but
I'm sure a lot of system admins can really use/appreciate the ability to
code/execute scripts in an DOS-like enviroment.

Had to turn on my messenger service to be able to see it.

So that was MS's fix for the messenger service "exploit", have the
command line say it was disabled )
