Output of tree in command prompt

I was hoping to be able to use the 

tree /F /A > "desktop"\file.txt

command to output only text files. Currently as is, it outputs every file extension.

Does anyone know of an easy way to do this?

Solution

  • Tree accepts only a few command line parameters:

    c:\>Tree /?
Graphically displays the folder structure of a drive or path.

TREE [drive:][path] [/F] [/A]

   /F   Display the names of the files in each folder.
   /A   Use ASCII instead of extended characters.

    None of the indicated parameters are a file mask or filter.

    You can use dir with the proper switches, and redirect the output to a text file. You'll get the full path name to the files, but you can filter that out in later processing if need be with a for loop:

    C:\>dir *.txt /s /b > filelist.txt
