Hi

In the command prompt in Windows 8.x, the output of the dir command produces a list of all files and directories with their information.

If I wanted to display only the output of only two or three files (including their information), how should I do?

Note: These files, that I should see, have completely different names.

Thanks

Bye

It would probably be better to learn some PowerShell to do that.  However, cmd window shell could also do it.   E.g. perhaps pipe dir/a/b/s into find or findstr and then (somehow--perhaps a "for /F loop") do a dir or whatever you want on what remained to get "their information".  In contrast with PowerShell the last stage would be a piece of cake:  fl * (or ft -AutoSize) would be enough and you would get more detail on each file.

Good luck

Hi,

You just add the multiple specific file name to achieve it.

The syntax is like this:

dir [Drive:][Path][FileName] [...] [/p] [/q] [/w] [/d] [/a[[:]attributes]][/o[[:]SortOrder]] [/t[[:]TimeField]] [/s] [/b] [/l] [/n] [/x] [/c] [/4]

You can use multiple filenames. Separate file names with spaces, commas, or semicolons. You can use wildcard characters (that is, ? and *) in FileName to display a group of files(see screenshot below).
