You could even try:
dir Filename.txt 2>Filename.txt . Volume in drive C is volumename . Volume Serial Number is ABCD-1234 . . Directory of C:\adirectory . .03/01/2018..01:36 PM..................0 filename.txt ................1 File(s)..............0 bytes ................0 Dir(s)..88,624,267,264 bytes free(ignore the periods, used for better forum display)
