I use following code to list all the folders and subfolders from a given folder: dir /s /b /o:N /a:d > folderlist.txt , but I need only those, which contains at least one file.So you mean, EXCLUDE all folders with a zero number of files?
Is a folder with a subfolder, but no files, empty or not?


Yes.
If has a subfolder, but no files it is empty, but subfolder should be CHECKED too.sounds LIKE a job for powershell.
something like this may get you started; powershell -command "Get-ChildItem 'C:\mydocs' -Recurse -Directory | ? {[System.IO.Directory]::GetFileSystemEntries($_.FullName).Count -gt 0} | ? {$_.FullName}"
it will not show folders with a file count of zero.
Output seems correct! Which flag should I use please to hide folder details?if you prefer to stick with your batch solution, try this:

Code: [Select]echo off
for /f %%i in ('dir <YourFolderName> /ad /s /b') do (
   for /f %%j in ('dir %%i /w ^| find /i "file(s)"') do (
     if %%j GTR 0 echo %%i >> <YourFileName>
   )
)

If you prefer a Powershell solution, this may come in HANDY:

Code: [Select]Get-ChildItem <YourFolderName> -Recurse -Directory |
  Where-Object { $_.GetFiles().Count -gt 0 } |
  Select-Object Fullname -ExpandProperty Fullname |
  Out-File -FilePath <YourFileName>
 
Be sure to change appropriately.

Good luck.  Thanks for your help!
