DOS file search at command prompt

Comment:

At a command prompt, how does one search for a file, find all of its locations with file size and date for each location? If this cannot be done at the command prompt, is there a batch that will do the job? Thanks for the help!

At prompt type dir /S /P "Path\FileName" If you want to save the results in a text file dir /S "Path\FileName" > "Path\ResultFilename"

Thanks for the replies. I'll try them all. I believe something like IVOs second option is what I have used before.
