DOS Dir - listing of full path and timestamp
Hi,

(Apologies, I'm sure I'm not the first person to raise this question but so far in my searches haven't found a good answer).

I would like to output a listing per line of filename (including full path) and 'last updated' timestamp. e.g:
Code:
Z:\dir1\file1.txt   01/02/2010 10:43
z:\dir1\file2.txt   12/04/2010  09:30
z:\dir1\dir2\file3.txt   26/05/2010  13:01
z:\dir1\dir2\file4.txt   26/05/2010  13:02

I expect 1000+ files to be reported in my real scenario. The ultimate aim is to export to Excel and sort by date.

I had hoped to use the DOS DIR command.

Thanks in advance for any help.
