Have a play with the dir /? for different outputs, I find that dir /B >file.txt is most usefull for numerous things.

I wrote a Visual Basic Script that generates a CSV file that can be read by EXCEL. Once in EXCEL, you can sort by individual columns… Path, Size, Name, etc.

If anybody is interested, I can get it to you.

the dir /B sorted me out, was only to list the xyz files in a dir so I could send the list to Larry over at EM3 so he could update his protien list :slight_smile:
