Is there a command equivalent to ls -a in bash?

[jason404]

Is there a dir switch combination which shows all files and directories, like ls -a in bash?

dir /a:h /a:d will show both hidden and non-hidden directories at the same time, but I cannot find a way to make it show files as well.

I found pdir, but I am not getting very far with it.

1/ Only the last occurrence of the /a: option in the command is effective. All attribute selection options must be combined in that one occurrence. Your example worked as reported because the /A:D option (without additional suboptions) selects ALL directories, including hidden ones.

2/ Option /A: selects all directories and all files unconditionally. As the HELP reports, the choices made after the /A: restrict selection to whatever is explicitly specified. Please read HELP topic "Attribute Switches".

How about just dir /a with no extra parameters? Does that do what you want?

Thanks to both of you. I had read that page in the help, but evidently not closely enough.
