unlisting the directory names in batch script

Question

I am using the following command to list all the files (with absolute path) other than the undesired folders.

Just a small problem , i don't want to list just directory name as listed in below first three entries.

C:\Listings\D1
C:\Listings\D2
C:\Listings\D3

How can i do that. Thanks

dir /S /B * | findstr /v /i UD

C:\Listings>dir /S /B * | findstr /v /i UD
C:\Listings\D1
C:\Listings\D2
C:\Listings\D3
C:\Listings\D1\d1_file.txt.txt
C:\Listings\D2\d2_file.txt.txt
C:\Listings\D3\d3_file.txt.txt

Answer 1

Add /A-D switch to the command:

dir /A-D /S /B * | findstr /v /i UD

This switch excludes directories (with directory attributes).

Answer 2

And the PowerShell equivalent...
Verbose:

Get-ChildItem -File -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object -ExpandProperty FullName

With aliases:

gci -af -r -ea silent | select -exp FullName

The above starts outputting results immedidately, facilitating further pipeline processing.

The alternate construction:

( gci -af -r -ea silent ).FullName

...completes the recursive query before selecting the FullName property and returning results.

Get-ChildItem/gci

Answer 3

One alternative:

where /r . *

Where only list files and with the fullpath:
