how to find file's summary information on command prompt

[gbaksh]

hi guys,

a part of my task includes how to retrieve the summary info from all the files in a given folder from the command prompt and create a text file of the format:

file_name created_date summary_info (where I've one col for all the information I get by right clicking on the file, clicking on properties, clicking on summary)

Thanks for any help i can get.

in CMD, type

dir /?

This gives you different options for the directory list command, test them out with different switches to find the ones that give you your desired effect.

when you have your desired switch commands, use the print to command to print it to say c:\dirList\dirList.txt

dir /x /y/ /z >c:\dirList\dirList.txt

Hope this Helps.
