[taherkhani]

how can i list my empty folders and subfolders in a main folder?

supose that my main folder is:

f:\ta\a\main\sub1\
f:\ta\a\main\sub2\subsub1
f:\ta\a\main\sub3\subsub2
f:\ta\a\main\sub4\subsub3\subsubsub1

supose that folder 'main' is completely empty.

i want a program that output a list of end-level empty subfolders, i mean in this example,
output these .txt file:

this program can job that, but don't work for unicode character:

The problem is in the cmd window, it can't display unicode character, try to out-put the result to a txt file and open the file after it is done, maybe that might work.

Edited:
This work for me

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
Del /F /Q "log.log" 2>nul
For /F "delims=" %%A in ('DIR /B /S "*.*"') Do echo %%A>>log.log
log.log

Put it in the main folder

i want output only empty folders that even have not any folder in it.

supose I have:

main
|_subfol
|_subsubfol

and main is empty folder, itmeans that subfol and subsubfol are also empty, but main contain a foder and subfol contain a folder too,
I have just the path empty folders that contain anything.
In this example i want output :

main\subfol\subsubfol

Sorry, do you mean you just want to display the last folder in the tree of all folders.
and empty means that the folder must not contain any other sub-folders ?

See if this works for you:

Code: Select all

@echo off
for /d /r %%a in (*) do (
dir /b /a "%%a" 2>nul | find /c /v "" | findstr "^0$" >nul && >> file.txt echo %%a
)
pause

Code:
@echo off
for /d /r %%a in (*) do (
dir /b /a "%%a" 2>nul | find /c /v "" | findstr "^0$" >nul && >> file.txt echo %%a
)
pause

it's work, but not for unicode, if i run that for unicode, output ? character instead of any unicode character like this:

D:\a\07 ?????? - ??? ???? ??-????\04 ???????\??? ???\358.30 ?????? ??? (1)
D:\a\07 ?????? - ??? ???? ??-????\04 ???????\??? ???\358.54 ??? ??? ????? ???????

it work for me here, does the notepad is supporting the language that your folders is named with?

Follow these steps:

1> Control panel
2> Regional and language options
3> select 3rd tab "advanced"
4> choose your language in "language for non-unicode programs" section and then reboot.

also, make sure that in the 2nd tab "languages" in supplemental language support section, the 1st choice is choosed "install files for complex script and right-to-left language..." if your language is wrote from right-to left

That might be the reason why the notepad doesn't display the characters in correct format.
