   Accu Backup to All   
   Problems Listing Certain Filetypes Withi

   I'm trying to output a list of all .txt and .csv files located within a   
   certain directory and all its subdirectories.  On Windows Server 2019, I'm   
   running...   
      
   C:\>dir "e:\shareddata\folder1\folder2" \*.txt \*.csv \s \b > "c   
   \users\username\desktop\output.txt"   
      
   or similar variants and getting mixed results.  When I have the \s included, I   
   am getting ALL files... not just the ones I want.  I also got only the wanted   
   files but on the entire drive... not just from the folder I need.  What am I   
   missing here?  My    
   goal is to review the list of files and then use a similar batch to delete   
   them if there is nothing I need to keep.  Thanks.
