list all files in all subdirectories, not current directory

Question

Is there a way to list all files in all subdirectories excluding those in the current directory?

dir /s /b lists all files, including those in the current directory. That is not what I want.

Answer 1

Use Powershell:

 Get-ChildItem .\*\*

Edit:

Above example indeed only gets the 2nd level or directories and not contents of subfolders.

@guest's answer is the better one:

Get-ChildItem -Directory | ForEach-Object {Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Select-Object FullName}

Answer 2

There are multiple solutions, which I will try to explain one by one.

Batch
1) for /d %i in (*) do @dir /b /s "%i"
(*) expands to all files in current directory. for /d then loops through all directories, excluding regular files, executing dir /b /s for each directory. Since for echos executed commands, @ is used to suppress the echo.

2) for /f "delims=" %i in ('dir /b /A:D') do @dir /b /s "%i"
'dir /b /A:D' returns all directories in current directory, with each directory on one line. "delims=" instructs for /f not to tokenize a line but assign the whole line to %i. for /f then loops through all lines, executing dir /b /s for each line.

Use %%i instead of %i in batch file.

Powershell
dir *\* only returns files in level 2 directories.
dir -recurse *\* also returns files in deeper directories but doesn't show empty folder in level 2.

Correct commands which take the same approach to that in Batch:
1) dir | where {$_.PsIsContainer} | foreach {dir -recurse $_} | foreach {echo $_.fullname}

2) dir -directory | foreach {dir -recurse $_} | foreach {echo $_.fullname}
