I need to scan a Shared drive on the network for folder and sub-folder information.

There are multiple folders (@ 75) and each folder has at least 3 sub directories. (\Private, \Public , \Shared)

I need a script which will give me a text file with each folder with sub folder. ( ie

\\Shared\Folder1\Private
\\Shared\Folder1\Public
\\Shared\Folder1\Shared

\\Shared\Folder2\Private
\\Shared\Folder2\Public
\\Shared\Folder2\Shared

Etc

I am trying to speed up backups and it helps with the Share broken out like this.
Thanks any help and your time.

Code: Select all

@echo off
for /d %%a in ("\\Shared\*") do (
    for /d %%b in ("%%~a\*") do (
        (set /p "out=%%~b" <nul & echo:) >> yourList.txt
    )
)

Thanks for your script the other day. It worked very well and easy. I have one last question. Can an exclusion be added to this to bypass one or two folders? This would help on balancing out folders due to size.

Again, I appreicate your help and time.

Modified to exclude a couple of folders. If these change frequently or you have more than a couple you might want to have a list of folders to exclude in an ExcludeFolders.txt file... but this will work fine for what you asked.
I added the second line to delete yourList.txt if it exists to avoid appending to an existing file. Your choice as to whether you want that.
Added 2 case insensitive find commands that will skip folders. May not always need full path, but it is safest in case specified string is a substring within one that you really did not want to delete

Code: Select all

@echo off
if exist "yourList.txt" del /q "yourList.txt"
for /d %%a in ("\\Shared\*") do (
    for /d %%b in ("%%~a\*") do (
        (set /p "out=%%~b" <nul & echo:) | find /i /v "PathOfFolderToExclude" | find /i /v "PathOfAnotherFolderToExclude" >> yourList.txt
    )
)
