need file names

[desanti]

Hi; i wish to find files on my hard drive(c that have an
extension of .MP3(.mp3).that includes directories and files.
i have tried some things but they do not work.i thought
FILENAME option with some info would get if for me but it does not.i do not want to use "find" in windows.thank you

dir c:\*.mp3 /B /S

Hi; you are right i am in a windows98se os.but i have the ability to use awk and sed(ksh).i have used awk and sed many times.all i wish to do is access my c: drive and find all files with an .mp3 extension.it is easy to do if i go to the folder where i know where the mp3 files are.but if they are scattered i want a listing of them without having to change directories.that is about as clear as i can make it.thanx for your time.

Have you tried my suggestion ?
No need of awk nor ksh:
dir C:\*.mp3 /B/S

awk doesn't really do that kind of stuff. awk is for processing text files or streams

you could pipe a dir /s listing to awk and look for mp3 in the produced list if you really want to, but that's just doing it the hard way...

I'd use PHV's suggestion...



HTH,
