Ok this may sound like a daft question.

But.... I want a text file containing all the files that were modified in the last 24 hours sorted as a single file on a single line

i.e.

----list.txt-----------
c:\myfile.txt
c:\myoutherfile.txt

this is how far i have got:

dir /A-D /S /B t: > list.txt

gives me a full list

and

find /mnt/drive -type f -mtime -1 > list.txt

this works for linux but i need a batch file.

so you want it on a single line? For example,

c:\windows C:\program files c:\document and settings

Like that?

And what do you mean you need it in a batch file? You already have the command you need. Just but it in a *.bat or *.sh (with +x) and just run the batch file. Are you talking about creating a batch file that is more generic, or a batch file that accepts arguments? For example, being able to specify the directory to search and the name of the output file?

nope i need a plain test file with one filename on one line i.e.

---copy----
c:\file1.txt
c:\file2.txt
c:\file3.txt
---paste----

I know "dir /A-D /S /B C:\ > list.txt" put in a batch file would do this but i want list of files modified in the last 24 hours not every file
