Commas in filenames... Whatever next?! When I read that you were searching through 1.4TB, I thought the size of the output file might be a problem!! I'll amend it to delimit using tabs rather than spaces, but I'm a bit busy right now. Will try to do it later.

Overnight??? It takes under a minute on my box to do 50GB. Anyway, I've fixed the filespec matching. It's crude, but it does work for things like *.txt and *.bak, whatever. Happy listing...

I can't reproduce this error. I don't think it's the zero size file because I have files like that too. However, I've added some error trapping, so hopefully this one will be better. Sorry about that! I should have taken more care!! P.S You're right. The filter doesn't work right. I'm a bit short of time for fixing it right now. Sorry! You'll just have to pull back everything for now.

I have done quite a few martial arts. I have black belts in two styles of karate and used to be a karate instructor at the Oxford University Karate Club. I've done Shotokan, Wado Ryu, Goju Ryu, Kyoku Shin Kai, Shito Ryu (no, I didn't make it up!), Tae Kwon Do, freestyle karate, Lau Gar Gung Fu, Jujitsu and... ehem... ninjitsu (insert scornful cough here). Karate is great for all-round fitness, mental discipline, coordination and fighting technique. It's approximately 50:50 kicking and punching. Most karate styles don't involve much contact... Touch contact, or semi. Some are full contact, like Kyoku Shin Kai and this is quite gruelling. Shotokan is a very 'strong' style with much focus on tradition. Wado ryu is also traditional, but also has a strong focus on 'competition' karate. However, it's not all that good for self defence since karate-ka (people who 'do' karate) like to keep at kicking distance and this doesn't really happen on the street! From a self-defence standpoint, jujitsu is by far the best martial art to take up. It involves locks, breaks, throws, chokes and strangle holds. Furthermore, you get to do a lot of groundwork, which is where most street fights end up. It's much like aikido, but is more aggressive and more direct. Many of these arts (especially jujitsu) have some focus on weapons. My personal collection involves two katana, one bo staff and a set of nunchaku. Ninjitsu is a crock. I've done a little and read several books, but it's not a true martial art! It's like jujitsu, but extremely diluted in content and technique. They spend far too much time focussing on mysticism and not enough on real technique. So, my view... If it's about fitness, technique, and self-improvement, then you can't go wrong with something like Shotokan karate. If it's about self defence and how to do some serious damage, gotta be jujitsu!

Rover Coupe. P.S. Most of you people have way too much money. If you're feeling charitable, pass some of it my way.

No, I do believe it! It's the same where I work. Everyone is security conscious and network admins like their networks as locked-down as they can be. On the other hand, you have a job to do and you need the tools installed to do it. That's my argument anyway!!

So get downloading dude!

Digsy, I've written a program for ya. It's attached here. You will need a Java runtime (or JDK) on your machine to run it. If you haven't got one, you'll need to download the Java runtime from java.sun.com. The current runtime is version 1.5, but it will run on 1.4.2 also (in case you've already got one). Download the attached filelister.zip and extract its contents (two jar files and a batch file) to a folder of your choice. To run the program, open a command prompt at the same location that you extracted the files to. Then run the program like this: filelister is the top level directory you want to interrogate. is optional and defines the files you want to match. If you omit this parameter, all files will be matched (i.e. *). E.g. to find all files in c:\ filelister c:\ To find files matching *.txt under d:\tmp... filelister d:\tmp *.txt The output is in csv format and looks something like this: This shows full path, file size in bytes and then the last modified date. The output also contains header and trailer info (e.g. the total number of files found). By default, the output is sent to the command prompt (standard out). You can redirect to a file just like you would with any other DOS command. E.g. filelister c:\ > e:\filelist.txt The program doesn't do any sorting. I recommend that you generate a text file (as shown above), remove header and trailer info and then import it into Excel or a database and sort from there. Hope this is what you were after.

Excuse I for being a pillock! This gives you full paths, but no further info... How completely useless! That's what happens when you don't think before you post!! Let me know if you're still searching tomorrow and (if not too busy) I'll write a utility.

Pathnames in the same line? No problem... On WinXP / 2K: dir [filespec] /osne /s /b > [outputfile] E.g. dir * /osne /s /b > filelist.txt dir *.txt /osne /s /b > filelist.txt (/osne = sort by size, name, extension. /s = include subdirs. /b means 'bare format') If that's not good enough, I could whip you up a Java program or some KiXtart or VBScript to do it, but I'm pretty busy right now.

I've got a Veilside kit too, and I don't know where to put the front plate! It's currently sat behind the windscreen. Any ideas?

Wasn't a bloke called Steve was it?

I was thinking along the same lines as you Stealth. However, the MAC address of the client will still be in the ARP cache and they could be logging this. (Although I doubt they would bother.) If this is a company laptop and they have any kind of asset tracking mechanism at all, the MAC address will be stored in the asset register too. (So they know who you are.) As you say, it looks like they're not bothered (or incompetent), but you can't assume that you will be totally anonymous just 'cause you're using DHCP. Of course, if it's your own laptop, then they won't have a clue who the MAC address belongs too. Ergo, they should be using MAC-address based packet filtering in addition to WEP or WPA.

They can log packets through their wireless router and those packets will have your laptop's IP address. So it is possible to trace. So don't do anything *too* naughty!

Hard to see your bonnet looking at your avatar, but mine is std, so no toast for me.

I think Dude needs a slap! Forgive my ignorance, but what is a toast rack? (I have a sneaking suspicion that your answer will confirm I have one.)

I'm gutted. Won't be around on that day. And I'm gonna miss a dyno session too. Have a good time all.

Oi, that was a Veilside kit!! Grrrr.

Ditto.

D'ya know if it's repeated?

SupraStar, I've seen some of your photoshop work before. You are a genius. Wish I had some of that artistic talent. What's the point in being a code monkey if you have no artistic flair? Sigh.

You could make mkivsupra.net your homepage! Or alternatively, how about www.just2good.co.ukplug>?

I've got an IRiver. I use it down the gym. It's very portable, but only has 256MB of memory. It's solid state, not a hard disk like the IPod. So, if you want 20GB of storage, it's the player for you.

I haven't been on the Supra scene for very long, but I was very impressed with Paul at MiamiGT. I learned a lot in the short time my car was there. Will definitely be going back.

This article should give you the answers you need.
