I have searched high and low and have downloaded a lot of programs, free and payware, that create log files of directories and files with dates and their times. I have even used Windows DOS commands to reach the same aim.

However there is a bit of exclusion with the way that all of these programs I have used, and that of DOS literature, seems to miss out on and it has to do with omission of the "seconds" part of the creation, modified, last written and access times. Even commercial software that I have seen doesn't output the "seconds" part of the time format to output or text file.

With DOS you have:
DIR path name/folder/files /T:(type of times - C,A,W) > text.txt
C= Creation A = Accessed W = Last written

Is there a parameter for "seconds" that is being missed or is there a program out there that can log the seconds as well for the times?

Total Commander ( http://www.ghisler.com ) can do this with internal Content Plugin and "Custom Columns" feature.
You can also copy (Mark - Copy To Clipboard With All Details)
or
"pack" this info to the file with external plugin "WdxInfoPacker" - http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/WdxInfopacker.html

Thanks Gral for this. This is definitely what I'm looking for.

I have been through the site and I'm trying to find how to add the custom column and or implement the packer but I can't find much instruction for how to put it all together, make it work. Do you know of a page that shows step-by-step how to get where you're at?

I'm usually knowledgeable enough to use programs without reading the manual but in this case not so. I was reading over what this program does and I get the jist of it. Just not finding what I am trying to find.

Maybe it would help if we knew exactly what it is you wanted at the end?
eg
a text file that lists all the files and dates/times
a simple replacement dir to be used in cmd prompts that shows seconds?

If you can't get on with total commander (or it's overkill for what you want), I could write one of those in half an hour for you

I did something in VB like that a few times to get clock time but not file times through the "format" function. I don't have have that Visual Studio on hand at the moment to play around with.

I am looking to get the seconds portion of the times, creation, modified, etc., and write that information along with other stuff of files in a directory to a text file.

The only way I have been able to see seconds is through the right-click properties on a file or folder. If windows can do this through that method then why couldn't it do it through its own DIR command?

Total commander is a nice program. I do understand a good amount of it but it is overkill for what I would like to do.
