to have dir display directories only: dir /a:d or to do subdirs as well dir /a:d /s Hth Rene
-----Original Message----- From: Kevin Lundy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 02, 2008 8:47 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: file name length We are having a problem with one of our archive tools (Disk Extender). Better said, Disk Extender has identified a problem where some directory and file paths are >256 characters. I thought that was a hard limit in Windows so not sure how they got created. Does anyone know of a tool, or way to script, that will give us a report of at least directories that exceed some limit? We have about 4 TB of unstructured files, so we don't want to see every file that exceeds the length, but a list of every directory path over say 240 characters would be a good start. I thought the good old dir command used to have a switch to only display directories and not files but don't see it anymore. I was just going to pipe dir commands to files and then import and sort.
