hmm, thanks that's the stuff. Any ideas about including subdirectories of the folder that the .bat file is located in?

nevermind, I think I've found what I'm looking for thanks to your prompt

Code:

DIR *.DWG /s /b > DWGlist.txt

EDIT:

ahah! there's more lol

I never did learn how to use dos code properly

basic AutoLisp code, now that I can handle (well mostly).

Thanks again

All works according to plan until I try and use it on a network drive, on the console pops up for a split second and complains about UNC something or other.

Ah well.

Go to the folder you want to execute the *.bat from, then just paste the command of the batch file into the console. The console will stay open, and you can read the error message.
