Directory printer

[Holly Deakyne]

It looks like BC doesn't have a program that prints a tree of the directory, but it used to. Searching shows me people generally do this with a script through Powershell? Does anyone have one they could share that gets down into all the nesting? So far I just get one level down. Or it is inconsistent. I don't really know why it doesn't show all folders and files.

Or recommend a free program that does this. I used Karen's Directory Printer awhile ago, but the last update was 2020.

thanks,

Holly

Have you tried using the tree command (through the command-line terminal)?

I will, thanks. When Googling, I got much more complicated answers than that.

Believe it or not, ask ChatGPT. It can write a Python script very quickly to print out this for you. :)

Get-ChildItem "F:\KD-85" -Recurse -File | ForEach-Object {

    [PSCustomObject]@{

        FolderPath = $_.DirectoryName

        FileName   = $_.Name

        FullPath   = $_.FullName

        SizeBytes  = $_.Length

        Modified   = $_.LastWriteTime

    }

} | Export-Csv -Path "C:\TapeExports\KD-85_FileListing.csv" -NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8

ChatGPT gave me this one which worked pretty good. "F:\KD-85" is the pointer to your file location and name.
