Get Directory Entries in Windows PowerShell
How to get a list of files in a directory in Windows PowerShell? Can I use the old "dir" command?
✍: FYIcenter.com
Yes, you can still use the old "dir" command in Windows PowerShell. But "dir" is defined as an alias of the "Get-ChildItem" cmdlet.
The "Get-ChildItem" cmdlet gets the items in the current directory by default. "Get-ChildItem" cmdlet returns child items as an array of FileInfo objects. You can pipe them into other cmdlets.
For example, the following command gets first 5 files from the C:\Windows directory:
PS C:\fyicenter> Get-ChildItem C:\Windows -File | Select-Object -First 5 Directory: C:\Windows Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- -a--- 9/4/2007 4:14 PM 180000 aaRemove.exe -a--- 11/20/2010 7:16 AM 65024 bfsvc.exe -a--- 1/4/2012 12:04 PM 124789 DirectX.log -a--- 1/5/2012 1:22 AM 1774 DtcInstall.log -a--- 2/25/2011 12:30 AM 2616320 explorer.exe
Here are some example on how to use "Get-ChildItem" cmdlet:
"`n--- Get files and subdirectories recursively ---" Get-ChildItem -Recurse "`n--- Get files only ---" Get-ChildItem -File "`n--- Get subdirectories only ---" Get-ChildItem -Directory "`n--- Get system files including hidden ones ---" Get-ChildItem C:\Windows\System32 -Force
