How can I produce a list of files in a directory?

[hcdebey]

I want create a list of files in a directory with something like:

C:\>dir >filelist.txt

When I attempt this using ShellExecute I get a message that Windows can't find dir.

Any suggestions?

There is no DIR.exe to run. The DIR command is "native to", or "embedded in" the command shell (i.e. CMD.exe). So for AutoIt to run an embedded command, you first run the shell:

Run(@ComSpec & " /c DIR C:\Temp1 > C:\Temp2.txt")

You can skip all that and get the list to an array with just _FileListToArray(). Check it out in the help file.

RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c Dir C:\")

Also look at _FileListToArray()

If you wanted to do it that way..

Run(@ComSpec & " /c dir > file.txt")oÝ÷ Ø    趫Á¬²¢é¢pj{m¢ÚòËaÆ®¶­sb6æ6ÇVFRfÇC´fÆRæS2fwC°¢6æ6ÇVFRfÇC´'&æS2fwC° ¢b33c¶bÒôfÆTÆ7EFô'&gV÷C´3¢b3#µvæF÷w2gV÷C²ÂgV÷C²¢â¢gV÷C²Ã¥ô'&F7Æb33c¶b
