Dir command help? /s attribute keeps seaching full drive?

[acem77]

Here is what I am trying to run.

example
> dir d:\Users\tjones\Home\ /s *.jpg

I only want it to find jpegs in tjones home folder and all its sub folders.
When I run the command it will 1st search the above path and all subfolders
then it will continue to search the full D: drive grr.
I do not want it do search the complete drive just the home folder and all
subs.

The only time it works is if the command prompt is in the
d:\Users\tjones\Home\ dir and I run > dir /s *.jpg

Looks like this "D:\Users1\tjones\Home>dir /s *.jpg"

I want the full path in the command to work so I can make a batch file to
scan multiple user folders their subs to create a list of files found.

thanks

Try dir /s d:\users\tjones\home\*.jpg

does not work
Try dir /s d:\users\tjones\home\*.jpg

need a space after home\
and then it will scan every dir after the path.

same with this one
dir d:\Users\tjones\Home\*.jpg /s

It does this on server 2k3 and xp

It works fine on my XP without the space after home\
It doesn't seem to matter if /s is at end or after "dir".

That I've verified.

Really?
it is searching all sub dirs under your root folder?
on mine a xp system and server 2k3 box it stops at the root dir if no space
is entered.

I also tried this on my XP machine at home with same results.
With no space, it only displays files in subdirectories below the
specified one and no more.

Thanks i did get it woking on my xp pc at home.
ill have to take a closer look at work monday.
The only thing it does not let you do is multiple files types in one command.

Is there anyway to make it scan the full C:\ drive and make the results or
whatever come up in a .txt document? I need it for some school work.

Sure. Redirect the DIR output to a file.
dir (path) /s > x:\folder\fname.txt

The > creates a new file each time, and >> creates
first, then appends to the existing file after
that.

This's a bad place to ask for school work help;
you could get some destructive responses since you
apparently don't know better. And thanks for
being honest about it being school work.

See
http://commandwindows.com/command1.htm
for some more details. Go down to the table.

So like dir C:/ /s > C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\scan.txt
or other way around?
dir C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop /s > C:\

No.
Dir /s "c:documents and... "
In the Command prompt, type dir /? to see all
possibilities/forms of the commend. Just type
help and it'll display all the available
commands.

type the command?
Thanks

Where clicking "Submit" sends the data is controlled by the "action"
property of the "form" tag.

No its not homework ... It's kinda just because i'm making a website where
theres a Disclaimer first and then a Check-box to agree and submit, so
thatthe submit button goes to the main site is all i need.

Look in any HTML reference, or google it, this stuff is very common.

<form action="http://somethingorother.com">

age or whatever and then it sends automaticly to your email?
Thanks.

That would be a server-side process. You'd have to work with your
hoisting company.

Would that be the Petard Hoisting Company?
Or the piano hoisting company

<FORM ">
Name: <INPUT name="Name" value="" size="10"><BR>
Email: <INPUT name="Email" value="" size="10"><BR>
<CENTER><INPUT type="submit"></CENTER>
</FORM>

That was the code i found on: http://web-source.net/html_codes_chart.htm The
side just shows a couple of easy and basic HTML commands theres also
JavaScripts and stuff. Feel free to check it out.

First: they want you to replace " with your email
address. Second: this depends on the user having a properly configured
email program installed. It will popup the user's email program (if
one exists) and he will have to send it. Third: you won't get the
values of name and email.

The only way to do this reliably is with server-side processing. ASP
(IIS only, can be coded in VB Script or Javascript), Perl, or Java EE
or .Net for more complex stuff. Not all hosters allow server-side
processing, it depends on the hoster and on how much you pay.

They're showing you how to do client-side stuff, and that's very good.
But forms usually need server-side processing.

All of which is outside the scope of this group.
