List files with path and file size only in Command Line

Windows Command Line (or maybe PowerShell).

How can I list all files, recursively, with full path and filesize, but without anything else and export to a .txt file. Much preferably a code that works for whichever current directory I am in with the Command Line (so does not require manual entering of the target directory).

None of these provides path\filename and filesize only:

dir /s > filelist.txt
dir /s/b > filelist.txt
dir /s/o:-d > filelist.txt

Desired output (fullpath\file.ext filesize):

c:\aaa\file.ext 7755777    
c:\aaa\bbb\1.txt 897667
c:\aaa\bbb\2.ext 67788990
c:\aaa\bbb\nnn\a.xls 99879000

OP's chosen answer using PowerShell (and their comment that they used Get-ChildItem -Recurse | select Length,LastWriteTime,FullName | Format-Table -Wrap -AutoSize | Out-File filelist.txt) was almost what I wanted for processing in Excel. Thanks for that part.

Unfortunately, (as they mentioned) the output had wrapped lines for long file paths, which isn't quite what I wanted.

The following command will produce a CSV formatted file (no wrapped lines):

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | select Length,LastWriteTime,FullName | Export-Csv -path filelist.csv -NoTypeInformation

Kudos to https://stackoverflow.com/a/23434457/7270462 for the tip about Export-Csv

Go to folder and shift+Right Click ---> Powershell and then put in this code.

gci -rec -file|%{"$($_.Length)~$($_.Name)~$($_.FullName)"} >filelist.txt

Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C ---> Copy into Excel

The following removes the wrapping issue you have:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | select Length,LastWriteTime,FullName | Format-Table -Wrap -AutoSize | out-string -width 4096 | clip

Have a look at this Reference.

PowerShell:

gci -rec -file|%{"$($_.Fullname) $($_.Length)"} >filelist.txt

earlier PowerShell versions:

gci -rec|?{!$_.PSIsContainer}|%{"$($_.Fullname) $($_.Length)"} >filelist.txt

Batch file:

(@For /F "Delims=" %%A in ('dir /B/S/A-D') Do @Echo %%~fA %%~zA) >filelist.txt

Cmdline

(@For /F "Delims=" %A in ('dir /B/S/A-D') Do @Echo %~fA %~zA) >filelist.txt
