This is probably easy and I'm missing it, but I need a list of the directories (users) under C:\Documents and Settings, but not directories underneath that. LIST FILELIST seems to list ALL subdirectories...

EDIT: VDS4 if it matters...

sorry flypaper, i was hoping that someone else might have a better idea than mine

i would suggest using LIST FILELIST to list everything and then go through the list to delete all subfolders you don't want

the trick is to work out which are the ones you don't want - perhaps a count of "\" will help

eg.

c:\windows\ has 2

c:\windows\fonts\ has 3

and using that idea you can just delete entries that don't have the correct numbers of "\"

If you use the "D" parameter only, FILELIST doesn't
load subdirs. Wink

LIST FILELIST, List1, C:\Programming, D
