Question

I am trying to create a batch file to parse a directory Z:\ (not including sub folders) which is a mapped network drive to give all folders that name includes “COMPANY_*” and output those folder names with the the full path to a text file.

The text file will be saved to a program folder location which is referenced when you run the program.

For example

Dir:

• Z:\Company_001
• Z:\def
• Z:\Comapny_002
• Z:\Company_101

Text file:

• Z:\Company_001
• Z:\Company_002
• Z:\Company_101

I started to have a go but dont know what I am doing and need to run this batch on 10 computers so do not want to cause any problems.

dir "Z:\" /b >d:\test.txt
FOR /F "delims=" %%a in (test.txt) do @echo Z:\%%a>>output.txt
del "d:\test.txt"
start C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe "d:\output.txt"
pause

Answer 1

cd Z:\
for /D %%A IN ("COMPANY_*") DO echo "Z:\%%A">>D:\output.txt

You can add a call to open the file with notepad if you want to. What you have now would work.
