Need to create a list...

.Kencs · 29 Feb 2012 at 11:47

I have about 110 file names I need to put in to a list, I know you can do it where you type a Command in to Command Prompt and it lists all the files in that directory and puts it in to a .txt file.

Can anyone advise what it was please?

Thanks

dir > list.txt

Did you really need to create a thread for this? You could have found the answer with just a few seconds googling (or even searching this forum)...

dir /b >list.txt

strips out other info

to test the output, just type in

dir /b

If you don't know how to get to the folder in question. in cmd, if you wanted to go to D:\test\folder\

type in..

D: (enter)
cd d:\test\folder (enter)
dir /b (enter)

If you use >> instead of > it will append to an existing file for you.

Cheers thanks for the help. I managed to get my list sorted and now I know all the documents I have so should help loads for work.

Cheers all.
