Windows Visual Directory Tree Generator

Description

The Windows Visual Directory Tree Generator is a Windows Batch Script (.bat) designed to create a visual representation of a directory tree structure. It scans the given directory and its subdirectories to list files and folders, skipping specified folders if needed.

Features

  • Count the total number of folders and files.
  • Output the directory structure in a tree-like format.
  • Exclude specific folders from the scan.
  • Generate a text file (visual_directory_structure.txt) containing the directory tree structure and the summary.

How to Use

  1. Download the Script: Download the Windows Visual Directory Tree Generator.bat script and place it in any directory.

  2. Run the Script: Double-click the .bat file to run it, or run it from the command prompt.

  3. Enter the Directory: You will be prompted to enter the directory you would like to scan. Provide the absolute path of the directory.

    Enter the directory you would like to scan: C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents

  4. Enter Folders to Exclude: Next, you will be asked to provide a comma-separated list of folder names to exclude from the scan (no spaces between commas and folder names).

    (Optional) Enter comma-separated folder names to exclude (no spaces): folder1,folder2

  5. Check the Output: Once the script finishes running, it will create a file called visual_directory_structure.txt in the same directory where the script is located. This file contains the directory structure and summary details.

Output Format

The output file will have the following sections:

  1. Header: Information about the script and when the directory structure was generated.
