Hi guys, with tasklist command i need to save as txt all running processes, so i've created a batch file with:

TASKLIST > processes.txt

At this point i would need to save as txt only the image names, without PID, session name and so on... simply a txt file in this format:

csrss.exe
svchost.exe
taskmgr.exe
wininit.exe
winlogon.exe
...

Is it possible to do it for you? Thank you in advance.

Cheers :)

It works fine here so it must be a different version of tasklist.exe to have different output than mine. You didn't mention your OS though :whistle:

Could you show an example how your tasklist.exe output looks like?

Here it's sth like this:

Image Name                   PID Session Name     Session#    Mem Usage
========================= ====== ================ ======== ============
System Idle Process 0 0 36 K
System 8 0 28 K
smss.exe 240 0 36 K

Yzöwl your batch works perfectly! This time i only need to modifying it to save as text all processes, so i've delete this:

/FI "STATUS eq RUNNING"

@ECHO OFF
>processes.log TYPE NUL
FOR /F "DELIMS=," %%# IN ('TASKLIST /FO "CSV" /NH') DO (
>>processes.log ECHO=%%~#)

The problem now is that there are many duplicates, for ex. svchost.exe or csrss.exe are reported many times in the text file. Should you have an idea to list all processes one time only?

The following should be sufficient although it does seem a little pointless not knowing how many separate instances of a process are running.

@ECHO OFF
>processes.log TYPE NUL
FOR /F "DELIMS=," %%# IN ('TASKLIST /FO "CSV" /NH') DO (
>NUL FINDSTR/IBE "%%~#" processes.log||>>processes.log ECHO=%%~#)

Please note that cmd.exe, conhost.exe and tasklist.exe may be included only as a result of your query, but since there is no way of knowing I'd be inclined not to remove them from the logged results.
