Windows CLI list requirement: dir /n/s list, but one line per file dir /b/s and with inline full path

I frequently use a batchscript dirlist.bat to generate a quick searchable text to find file information.
dirlist.bat
dir *.* /b/s >dirlist.txt
now I need additionally date and size information. As this would build a multicolumn list a csv-listoutput would be prefered.
This is my inspiration:
dir *.doc? /n/s >dirlist.txt
but I get a mixed multiline output. Filematches and folder summaries are intermingled.
Do you know a script approch to list the base information of each filematch into one line?

You'd probably be better off using PowerShell rather than doing Unix-style text-mangling

Can you be more specific, giving a code example?

You could probably use ForFiles.
Example:
@(ForFiles /S /M *.* /C "Cmd /C Echo @File,@FDate,@FSize")>DirList.txt

Many thanks. This works like a charm. Here some slight modifications, using ";" as CSV-separator for my resident country: @(ForFiles /S /M . /C "Cmd /C Echo @FDate;@fsize;@file;@path;")>DirList.csv

mind using <fsize> instead of <size>

I hadn't noticed that my autocorrect had removed theF, code corrected, thanks. I have not replaced the commas because the question is related to aCSV, and guess what theCstands for?

Why not just run a loop and get the date and filesize with it?
for /f %i in ('dir /b/s *.doc?') do echo %~zti %~dpfi >>dirlist.txt
you can dump the dir command and simply use the for /d and /r (recursive) search. See for /?
