Getting the standard output from CD into a file within a loop - batch-file

Question

Using some components I found here, I have built a batch file to loop through a directory tree starting from the directory where the batch file runs.
The batch file works as expected but I need to capture the output from the cmd.exe command CD into a file that I created earlier in the run.
The problem is that if I attempt to redirect the standard output into the .txt file I only see the first found directory.
I have found some code which uses PowerShell, to pull the listing from the Command Prompt screen, but to me this is inelegant, (although it seems to work).
I have read the material on setlocal enabledelayedexpansion but it appears to be above my paygrade as I haven't been able to make it work.
The working code is below, with a Remark where I think the export to the .txt file should go.
Help would be appreciated.
Rem Recursively Traverse a Directory Tree
Rem Notes:
Rem "For /r" command can be used to recursively visit all the directories in
Rem a directory tree and perform a command in each subdirectory.
Rem In this case, save the output to a text file
Rem for /r = Loop through files (Recurse subfolders).
Rem pushd = Change the current directory/folder and store the previous folder/path for
Rem use by the POPD command.
Rem popd = Change directory back to the path/folder most recently stored by the PUSHD
Rem command.
#echo off
CLS
echo.
echo.
Rem FirstJob - Generate a date and save in the work file.
Rem Grab the date/time elements and stuff them into a couple of variables
set D=%date%
set T=%time%
set DATETIME=%D% at %T%
Rem OK. We now have the date and time stuffed into the variable DATETIME
Rem so now stick it into our work file along with a heading.
Echo List of Found Directories > DirList.txt
Echo %DATETIME% >> DirList.txt
echo. >> DirList.txt
echo. >> Dirlist.txt
Rem SecondJob - Do the looping stuff and save found directories to file.
Rem Start at the top of the tree to visit and loop though each directory
for /r %%a in (.) do (
Rem enter the directory
pushd %%a
CD
Rem ------------------ direct Standard Output to the file DirList.txt -----------------
Rem exit the directory
popd
)
: END
Rem All finished
Echo Done!
exit /b
The additional lines of code when added to the above scrip before the :END marker. which did produce the wanted output were:
powershell -c "$wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell; $wshell.SendKeys('^a')
powershell -c "$wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell; $wshell.SendKeys('^c')
powershell Get-Clipboard>>DirList.txt

The problem is your pushd command, because you change the current directory, the file dirlist.txt must use an absolute path, else you create it in every pushed directory.
I used %~dp0 here, it's the path of the batch file itself.
You could try
cd >> %~dp0\dirlist.txt
Or just
echo %%a >> %~dp0\dirlist.txt
Or you could use a single redirecton of the complete bock
(
for /r %%a in (.) do (
pushd %%a
echo %%a
popd
)
) > dirlist.txt
