How to use 'dir' to different folders in one command?

Question

Any ideas how to use the command 'dir' to more than 1 folder in one command?

dir c:\A | c:\test\B

is not working. Im not good with pipes...

Answer 1

Use the Get-ChildItem cmdlet instead, or use DIR and separate your sources by commas, not spaces. DIR doesn't work the same in PowerShell as it does in a DOS window.

Answer 2

dir c:\A c:\test\B should work. No pipe necessary.
