Hi,
It takes some 20 years since i used MSDOS... i started with MSDOS 3.30, and growing since...
My request is that i can't remember HOW TO CROSS DIR command and COPY CON that i used to build an TEXT FILE WITH TREE AND FILES SIZE.
Presently i confess i can't remember how to cross both line commands...
Can you help me?
Thank you
Simon
I am not sure i understand the question, but if you want to save results of dir command to text file you can do this:
dir >> test.txt
I don't think you need copy con for this. More likely a simple redirect of dir something >file will do.
Also, I am not sure I know of a way to get dir to display a tree. There is a separate program that does it, called, unsurprisingly, tree, but it shows no file sizes.

"dir /s" goes through all sub-directories recursively. It is not a tree view, but it lists every file with date and size. If you also need hidden and system files, add "/a".
Also "help" is a very useful command. It even used to be hypertext, but it isn't anymore.
