dir /s /b for directories not subs

Can Anybody tell be how to do a dir in windows xp and weed out the subdirectories? dir /s /b works great, but I want only one level of directories to zip and replace the folders on the fly. The subs are just a nuiscance. I've never wanted only one level before and can't figure out how to do it. I'll do anything for help, hell, I'll #^@% your &^%$! Well, probably not, but I would appreciate it.

Well, yeah. I really want the entire path that you get with dir /s /b . I can't figure how to exclude the subdirectories. That would be perfect. But I've been parsing all day and my mind wants to give up. Thanks for the reply.

I *think* the following will work. Replace the echos with the commands you want.
@echo off
REM Recursive batch file to list files only up only to one directory deep REM Use flag to limit recursion to one level if "%1" == "stop" goto recursive_case
REM list files in current level FOR /F %%i IN ('dir /b /a-D') DO echo %cd%\%%i
REM list files in subfolders FOR /F %%i IN ('dir /b /aD') DO call %~f0 stop %cd%\%%i
:base_case pause exit
:recursive_case cd %2 FOR /f "tokens=*" %%f IN ('dir /b') DO echo %cd%\%%f

Yeah, that does the trick: FOR /F %%i IN ('dir /b /aD') DO call %~f0 stop %cd%\%%i>>directory.txt will write just the directories in the root. Thanks a lot, that's a big help.
