Are you looking for a list of files in a given subtree which have the attribute(s) set or do you want some variety of graphical methodology? If you simply want a list, what are you going to do with the list? Simple text list for a report, EXCEL (.CSV) list for some purpose, or are you going to perhaps use the list to make an archive? More info - better help. HTH ....Bill

Re: Select all files with particular attribute set ?
I want to be able to select all files with attributes read-only & system
set, build a list of them and backup to an archive. The Windows search module doesn't allow tro select according to attribute(s) ( or at least I haven't been able to find how) "billious" <billious_1954@hotmail.com> a écrit dans le message de news: 43bac38f$0$10323$a82e2bb9@reader.athenanews.com... > > "MoiMeme" <vermeulenp@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:OJe7jBJEGHA.2648@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... >> Hi, >> >> happy new year all >> >> Simple question perhaps : >> - how can I select all files with a given attribute set ( for example all >> system files) within a folder and subfolders ? >> >> TIA !! >> > > Please describe exactly what you want to do. > > Are you looking for a list of files in a given subtree which have the > attribute(s) set or do you want some variety of graphical methodology? > > If you simply want a list, what are you going to do with the list?

Re: Select all files with particular attribute set ?
By searching then clicking attributes column - all the A will be next to each other, all the AR, so you'll have only limited click - shift click to do.

It's still not crystal clear whether you want (all files with attributes (read-only & system set)) or (all files with attribute read-only) & (all files with attribute system set)) but minor changes can easily be accommodated. [1]@echo off [2]if exist arclist.txt del arclist.txt [3]for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /b/a-d/s') do echo %%~ai %%~fi [4]for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /b/a-d/s "d:\pathname\filemask.ext" ') do echo %%~ai|findstr /r "r..s" >nul&if not errorlevel 1 echo %%~fi >>arclist.txt Each line begins [number]. Lines will be wrapped in transmission and need to be rejoined. The [number] at the beginning of each line needs to be removed. notes: line [3] is redundant; it's there to show what is produced by the ~a modifier facility to the FOR command. Note that it produces the string "-rahs----" with any not-set attribute replaced by "-" on line [4], the FINDSTR command is looking for "r..s" (r and s separated by any 2 characters) if you want EITHER r or s set, then use "r s" in place of "r..s" arclist.txt will be built with the full filenames of the files to be archived.
