Looking for a Program

[smidsy]

Hi Guys,
Actually after two programs if they exist.
I need something that will either print or create an exportable list of all the files on a hard drive - including folder contents if possible.
Also a program that will scan hard drives and create a list of duplicate files.
I have 4 hard drives not including C, I need a list of whats on there for a friend and would love an easy way to identify duplicate files.
Do such programs exist?
Thanks
Paul

Open a command window/dos box,
Change to the root of each drive you want listed
Use the dir command and pipe the output to your chosen file using the inbuilt options and switches of the command.

Sorry I cant recall the exact command line you need.

As for duplicate files. Thats a bit harder. Its not as simple as filenames and sizes, although these two things alone will probably suit most needs. There are applications or you can import the dir output files into a spreadsheet or database then sort on name etc.

The DOS command is : dir c: /b /s > filename.txt


C: is the drive you want to search
/b displays the data without heading etc
/s shows all subdirectories

filename.txt is the name of the file generated.

You can also use >> instead of > it will add to the file instead of overwritting it.


Once you have the files you can sort and locate duplicates in something like excel.

I use DirectoryListPrintPro.exe, it's freeware. It's only an executable file, ie does not stay active when shut down.
Under 3 meg, outputs in word or excel.

Auslogics Duplicate File Finder
Infonautics Directory List & Print

Both programs have Freeware versions and work quite well.
