Reply #11: We know the file, not DIR [View All]

[megalith]

Hello

We know the name of the file, but not the directory; and directory structure changes from one machine to another. I need a command that from root < c:\ > will locate the file and print its date and file size. We have to be able to phone the command to folks who DO NOT know how to run DOS. It is probally DOS 6 and above

c:\ DIR filename.txt\s will only return the value if the directory the file lives in is in the path statement in autoexec.bat <which it probally is> is there something better?

Help please
