Create txt file in every subfolder

I am running windows server 2003. I have a directory that contains hundreds of sub-folders. I want to auto create txt file in each subfolder that will list all the files in that subfolder. Some folders uses special/Chinese characters. How can I do this with CMD? or any other language or tool

The FileSystemObject of Windows Scripting contains everything you need, but you'll need to write a bit of VBScript code to plug it together:

  1. Create and assign an instance of FileSystemObject using something like Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").

  2. For Each Folder In fso.GetFolder(...).SubFolders iterates through all subfolders. For deep iteration, use recursion.

  3. There is also Files which lists all files of a Folder.

  4. CreateTextFile does what it promises, and also has a unicode option.

If you do not need deep iteration, a CMD solution would be probably shorter, though I suspect you will run into Unicode problems.
