I have a folder containing 13 sub folders with a total file count of 2,445 text files. Each of these text files extends off another text file which may either be of the same sub folder or another one within the directory of sub folders. How can I go about generating a diagram of how they all link together?
Unless you're doing it manually, it will require custom code, since that isn't a normal set of delivered functions. al "Ferris" wrote in message news:2FDA857B-B124-4F25-B1D5-9EF62087151A@microsoft.com... >I have a folder containing 13 sub folders with a total file count of 2,445 > text files.

With a little work you may be able to get there with normal tools... Perhaps use something like 'print tree' to extract the folder and files to a .csv file, import to Excel, and then import from Excel to Visio.

I do not understanding the meaning of "extends off". I don't know the "Print tree" Doug talks about. But if you have the right to access a DOS or Command box, it might help. In the old days there were commands like tree, pipe, redirect. Nowadays there is the Window Host Scripting which I never understood.
