Try `dir /?`. It'll tell you all you need to know.

Answer 2

A:

try the FOR command. Read the usage information first, try HELP FOR. Then, experiment with this examples:

FOR %%a in (*.xml) DO ECHO %%a >>xmllist.txt

or

FOR /R %%a in (*.xml) DO ECHO %%a >>xmllist.txt

or

FOR /R %%a in (*.xml) DO ECHO %%~na >>xmllist.txt

and choose what fits better with your requirements
