Find file recursively under Windows (dir /s not suitable)
I need find a file in Windows under command line, but receive results as a table. Similar to windowed version of find, where we have last column, displaying location.
dir /s doesn't match this requirement, because it enters each directory and reports this in separate header, leaving file list as usual.

Probably not possible using the command line. You could build something using PowerShell.

Would this do: Get-ChildItem -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Recurse c: -Filter "filetosearch.exe" | select Directory

Maybe: Get-ChildItem -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Recurse c: -Filter "filetosearch.exe" | select Directory,Name,LastWriteTime | format-table etc...

If the headers are the only problem in your case, use the /B switch.
dir
filename.ext/S /B
A list of all files matching the filename along with their location is printed.
