Hi,
I was just about to give up on this because I noticed that if the output directory is too long, Windows shortens the directories and adds three dots. Something like this:
K:\firstDir\secondDir\thirdDir\four...
instead of
K:\firstDir\secondDir\thirdDir\fourthDir\

This is literaly what is returned by the spawn command:
spawn, 'powershell -WindowStyle Hidden "Get-ChildItem -Recurse | ?{ $_.PSIsContainer } | Select-Object FullName"', result, /noshell

After fiddling around with cmd and powershell, I found finally the answer from stackoverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9528039/powershell-why-do es-out-file-break-long-line-into-smaller-lines

So this now works better:
spawn, 'powershell -WindowStyle Hidden "Get-ChildItem -Recurse | ?{ $_.PSIsContainer } | Select-Object FullName | Format-list *"', result, /noShell

There is still however a little problem with overflowing lines. This is simply dealt with by searching for those lines that do not contain ":" and moving the content to the previous line...

Cheers,
Helder
