I need a simple way to create a list of all files in a certain folder. (recursively)
Each file must be in a single line. I also need the file size and the last access date in the same line, separated by a special character.
The output (textfile) should look like this:
c:\folder\file1.txt|400|2012-11-12 15:23:08 c:\folder\file2.txt|200|2012-11-12 15:23:08 c:\folder\file3.txt|100|2012-11-12 15:23:08 c:\folder\sub folder\file4.txt|500|2012-11-12 15:23:08
'Dir' seems not to be an option, because the German Special characters get messed up that way. (öäüß)
Powershell handles the special characters well, but I couldn't make it so that the information for one file ends up in a single line:
get-childitem D:\temp -rec | where {!$_.PSIsContainer} | foreach-object -process {$_.FullName, $_.LastWriteTime, $_.Length}

CB. over 10 years@G.Lombard Yes, but IIRC I copied what the user used in OP example. ;)
