hello. I created a batch script that backs up certain folders and files. I want to add a command that will create a text file within the backup drive with a list of all folders and files within a specific folder in it. how would I go about doing this?

Example:

_________________________
| files.txt.....................[_][O][X]|
|--------------------------------------|
|folder1....................................|
|folder2....................................|
|folder3....................................|
|file1.........................................|
|file2.........................................|
|file3.........................................|
|file4.........................................|
|________________________|

(like my ASCII art?)

dir /b /s "d:\parent folder">file.txt

I tried that command, and it created the text file, but it didn't put any text in it.
