ms dos specific command

Hi folks,

what I want to do is create a filename list from a specific directory. There is a command for DOS that does this and save the list as a text file in the directory, but i cant for the life of me remember what it is. Anyone have any ideas?

cheers

dir /s > path_to_file.txt

the /s lists subfolders/files. you might not need it.
