I want to get a list of all the subdirectories within a directory but without a file listing. The reason being, I store my mp3's in a directory called mp3 , with a subdirectory for each artist, within which is a subdirectory for each album from that artist. I need a list of artists and albums. I also need this list to be in alphabetical order or I will never find anything. Something like.. artist1 artist1/album1 artist1/album2 artist2 artist2/album1 Using the dir command, I can get a list of subdirectories ( 1 level only, ie just the artists )in aplphabetical order using.. dir /ad /on /b However when I try to get all the subdirectories (artist/album) by adding the /s switch, the alphabetical order is lost. Perhaps the /ad and /s commands dont work well together ? Any ideas ? A winxp or win98 solution is fine, say a small utility, but I would have thought there would be a simple dos solution. Thanks, Spamtrap

How about this: dir /ad /on /b |SORT -- Leonardo Pignataro - Secret_Doom -- secret_doom@hotmail.com www.batch.hpg.com.br
