I need to find all the files in a given directory, and all its subdirectories, and to put the result in the list.txt. Here is my solution, but the problem is that, it is too slow... Code: write -c list.txt var i 1 var %filename $findfile(c:\,.,%i) while (%filename) { write list.txt %filename inc %i set %filename $findfile(c:\,.,%i) } Is there any faster solution? thanx in advance..

You should take advantage of the command parameter in $findfile (type /help $findfile and read the entire section carefully). Even if you do that, the /write command is still going to slow down the script because of the constant open/close file operations. Here's a fast way: Code: .fopen -no blah list.txt if $ferr { return } !.echo -q $findfile(c:\,,0,.fwrite -n blah $1-) .fclose blah Alternatively, you can do it with the DIR command: Code: /run -n cmd /c dir /b /s c:\ > list.txt /.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com
