Question

I’ve come upon this so far:

for /r . %%g in (*.xml) do echo %%g

But I’m having a little trouble figuring out how to specify a path for it to search. For instance, I need to see all the XML files in Z:\abc\def\ directory and all sub-directories.

Thanks in advance for looking at this!

My goodness… you were 99% there.

The dot after the /R option represents the current directory. Simply substitute the specific path you want.

for /r "Z:\abc\def" %%g in (*.xml) do echo %%g

If all you are trying to do is list the files on the screen, then you can use the DIR command:

dir /b /s /a-d "Z:\abc\def\*.xml"
