Batch File: File Tree
[edit]Does this batch file properly store the computers file tree into a txt file in my documents folder (C:\Users\'User'\Documents)
@echo off
set /p filetree=tree /F C:\
echo %filetree% > Filetree.txt
echo File tree has been made
pause

- Why don't you tell us? What results do you get when you run it? -- Tcncv (talk) 01:42, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
The syntax is wrong. Change it to this:
@echo off
set filetree=tree /F C:\
%filetree% > Filetree.txt
echo File tree has been made
pause
Set /p is for a prompt. You don't need to set a variable either -- I'm not sure why you did that. I'd just do it like this:
@echo off
tree /F C:\ > Filetree.txt
echo File tree has been made
pause
That's assuming you want to include file names in the tree (hence the /F). It's also assuming that you're in your documents folder when you run the batch file. If you aren't, you'd need to change > Filetree.txt to > C:\Users\user\documents\Filetree.txt. Good luck with your assignment ;).--Areateeth34 (talk) 02:16, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
