I was hoping to be able to use the
tree /F /A > "desktop"\file.txt command to output only text files. Currently as is, it outputs every file extension.
Does anyone know of an easy way to do this?

Upon completion of listing all files and directories found, tree returns the total number of files and directories listed. There are options to change the characters used in the output, and to use color output. The command is available in MS-DOS versions 3.2 and later and IBM PC DOS releases 2 and later.
The tree command allows users to view an easy-to-read list of files and folders.
Two important abstractions in Command Prompt are standard input and standard output. By default standard input is your keyboard, and standard output is your computer screen.
Tree accepts only a few command line parameters:
c:\>Tree /? Graphically displays the folder structure of a drive or path. TREE [drive:][path] [/F] [/A] /F Display the names of the files in each folder. /A Use ASCII instead of extended characters. None of the indicated parameters are a file mask or filter.
You can use dir with the proper switches, and redirect the output to a text file. You'll get the full path name to the files, but you can filter that out in later processing if need be with a for loop:
C:\>dir *.txt /s /b > filelist.txt If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
