Team Foundation DIR

[chrisck]

I need to do a DIR of some Team Foundation Server projects and have the results piped out to text files. Currently when I do the DIR it returns the information to the Output window.

If I use the 'Additional Command-line Options' under the 'Options' tab, and type in a > some.txt, it only gives an error because this inserts this command as a switch and not at the end of the command.

How can I get the output directed to a specific file?

Thank you!

On the Advanced tab, enter %DOSCMD% in the Command to run before main command field so that the tf command runs under a cmd shell (enabling redirection).

Thank you for the reply!

I was actually wondering about the Team Foundation Server 'Action' in Visual Build. Is there a way to get this functionality using the built in Team Foundation Action? I already have it working using the 'Run Program' Action, but was looking to have all of my TFS steps done thru their respective Visual Build Action.

Thank you.

Yes, that option is available on all Run Program-derived actions (including Team Foundation).
