Piping dir to tree

I'm trying to create Word documents containing the output of a "tree"
command... we need to make a sitemap of our website's actual structure to
compare it to the theoretical structure.

For each folder under webroot/dept/ I would like a separate file with the
output of the "tree" command.

What am I doing wrong? When I invoke the following command inside the /dept
folder it does absolutely nothing... doesn't even throw an error.



dir | foreach {tree >$_.doc}


Thanks!

I think you're basically missing where you have to cd into that
directory, and then do a tree.

Try this:
pushd
get-childitem . -recurse|
where-object{$_.psiscontainer}|
foreach-object{set-location $_.fullname;$_.fullname;tree}
popd

I think this is what you want:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.PSIsContainer } | ForEach-
Object { tree $_ > "$( $_.Name ).doc" }

The Where-Object Cmdlet is there to make sure tree only processes
directories. Take out the Recurse parameter if you only want the
directories directly under your current directory.
