How to list files in a folder with input?

[EpicBlargh]

I want to automatically display all files in a folder, but I need it to be with input so I can respond with a file name. Any ideas? Help would greatly be appreciated.

Can you describe what you need to do more thoroughly?

This should display the files in the current directory.

dir /b /a:-d

What I'm trying to do, is make a user input in a batch file. It automatically lists...

I just figured it out in my head. Well, with help from your line too.

Thank you

Actually, how would I modify this to list folders in a different folder rather than the current one?

Did you want to list folders or files? This lists files.

Code: Select all

@echo off
dir "%~1" /b /a:-d
pause

Launch it like this: dirlist.bat "c:\folder\files\"

or dirlist.bat d:\backup

or drag a folder onto the icon.
