Just curious, is "tree /f" at a command prompt not sufficient?

I want to know more about this, but I get this error:


--- ---'tree' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

any hint?

Hmm, I know it was in XP, and I tried it on my Win 7 64-bit box before I posted.  Maybe it's in the support tools package, or resource kit?  (No, I just checked both of those.)

The program draws a very plain tree of folders (and optionally filenames) to standard output, which you can redirect to a file.  If you add the /a switch it uses normal ASCII characters for the tree part, like this:

+---.idlerc

Tree.com should be in the windows\system32 folder of your system drive.  Can you try doing the command this way?  Navigate to a folder, then type in:

   %windir%\system32\tree.com /f

kalos:
interesting, but there seem to be many versatile solutions

fyi, googling "print directory" returns many solutions for this

finding the correct search terms is the key to success! :D
