I am working on a batch file in 6.22 that looks through all subdirectories(like using dir/s) of a folder and lists all filenames of a given extension into a single textfile with a filename appropriate to the extension, for instance if my batch was ML.BAT and I was in C:\BACKUPS> then ML 110 should send all files with a .110 extension into LIST110.TXT
The catch is I need them to come out in the same format as you would get by using
dir /b *.110 > list110.txt
I know that by using this does not include subdirectories, which is what I am looking for and playing around with TREE has given me very messy results.
I am looking to just have the filenames only all together as one list
ML.BAT
@ECHO OFF
DIR /B *.%1 > LIST%1.TXT

This does what I'm looking for but applies only to the current directory. I need better.

Is it possible to say: go into the first child, write all appropriate filenames to destination text file, go into next child, add all filenames, go into next child... etc.
Please help. Thank you.

I just ran a test for all PDF's.

DIR /S *.pdf > C:\list.txt


This found ALL PDFs on my C: drive and sent the output to a file (List.txt) on my C: , Open list.txt and all PDFs are listed.

Not sure if this will help..

I have that in my original post, what I am looking for is a way to get all of these filenames only, if I run ML.BAT from C:\>ml 110
and I only have C:\BACKUPS\02-11-05\REGB\GENDIO.110
and C:\BACKUPS\17-06-04\REGG\IODIAG.110
I want my text file to show ONLY:

GENDIO.110
IODIAG.110

I don't want to see paths. Only the names.

Is it possible to move laterally through childs?
with CD.. you can move to the parent, is there a way through batch code you can move to the next lateral child and then add the results to an existing text file?

That is something I have never been able to figure out in dos batch files. It is very easily done in Linux Bash scripts. I have never been able to figure out how to get the basename in a batch file.
