   Besides the error mentioned I am confused by the \*. usage. Is that a   
   server method or did you mean to use some form of "FOR" and that is a   
   shorthand?   
      
   In Windows batch:   
   FOR %f IN (txt csv) DO DIR "e:\shareddata\folder1\folder2\*.%f" /S /B   
   -or-   
   DIR "e:\shareddata\folder1\folder2\*.txt" /S /B   
   DIR "e:\shareddata\folder1\folder2\*.csv" /S /B
