Find file recursively under Windows (dir /s not suitable)
I need find a file in Windows under command line, but receive results as a table. Similar to windowed version of find, where we have last column, displaying location.
dir /s doesn't match this requirement, because it enters each directory and reports this in separate header, leaving file list as usual.
You can use where.exe
where /r c:\windows ntoskrnl.exe
or, with wildcards:
where /r c:\windows ntoskr*
If the headers are the only problem in your case, use the /B switch.
dir
filename.ext/S /B
A list of all files matching the filename along with their location is printed.
