Ordering cross-directories

Thu, 28 Mar 2013 04:25:06 -0700

Hi,
I need your help.
I want to iterate over directories and order all the files found by date.

I have used this command:

cmd /c dir " c:\nuovacartella " /b /s /A /o:-d

but the files are ordered at folder level.

See the example:

C:\>cmd /c dir "c:\nuovacartella" /b /s /A /tc /o:d
c:\nuovacartella\cartella file\uno.txt
c:\nuovacartella\cartella file\AAA\ciao.txt
c:\nuovacartella\cartella file\AAA\due.doc
c:\nuovacartella\cartella file\AAA\tre.xsl
c:\nuovacartella\cartella file\AAA\appenaCreato.rar
c:\nuovacartella\cartella file\BBB\B2\son un file.txt
c:\nuovacartella\cartella Link\son un file
c:\nuovacartella\cartella Link\uno
c:\nuovacartella\cartella Link\appenaCreato
c:\nuovacartella\cartella Link\ciao

C:\>cmd /c dir "c:\nuovacartella" /b /s /A /tc /o:-d
c:\nuovacartella\cartella file\uno.txt
c:\nuovacartella\cartella file\AAA\appenaCreato.rar
c:\nuovacartella\cartella file\AAA\tre.xsl
c:\nuovacartella\cartella file\AAA\due.doc
c:\nuovacartella\cartella file\AAA\ciao.txt
c:\nuovacartella\cartella file\BBB\B2\son un file.txt
c:\nuovacartella\cartella Link\ciao
c:\nuovacartella\cartella Link\appenaCreato
c:\nuovacartella\cartella Link\uno
c:\nuovacartella\cartella Link\son un file

but I want the files ordered cross-folder.
Is there a way to do this (for example, using a batch script)?

Thanks in advance. Leonardo

Been looking everywhere for answers to these questions. I am finishing a project running MS-DOS 6.22 on VirtualBox and I am stumped on these questions. Any help please???

What is the largest Hard Drive volume this release of DOS can use?
Why does this release of DOS have that particular upper limit to disk storage?
Does this release of DOS support virtual memory?
How can you force a program or program group to "run real"? What is the advantage of "running real"?
How much physical memory is reserved to the operating system? Where in memory does DOS run.

Please & thank you

MS-DOS source code

Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:51:52 -0700

There are some projects that aim to provide an environment where you can run old dos programs on newer Windows versions like Windows 7 or 8. (Such as dosbox and FreeDOS...)

Those projects are good, but they are not 100% compatible with all DOS programs. Until now Microsoft has not released any source code from DOS 6.22 so it was hard for those projects to reverse engineer it, so they aren't fully compatible.

I think today there is no more source code from DOS 6.22 inside Win7 or 8 (since it`s based on NT and not DOS) and if there still is it is only in the command line.

Microsoft wouldn`t have any loss of sales if they would make DOS 6.22 legal freeware and release the source code under an Open Source license. No new software is being developed or sold for DOS.

Releasing the source code also wouldn`t hurt and it could help those third party projects to become perfect.

People could also use it to learn assembly, use as a template for their OS, like Linux.

for /f "tokens=1* delims=|" %%a in (filelist.txt) do (
       
      ren *.srt "%%a".srt
)
