Text file to tree

Cheetah Designs · 9 May 2013 at 13:04

Basically I have a directory tree listing in a text file where the indentation determines where it is in the tree.

Code:

/
    /app
        /app/myfolder
        /app/myfolder2
        /app/myfolder3
            /app/myfolder3/fol
            /app/myfolder3/d
        /app/myfolder4
    /data

Is there any software that will allow me to view this as a tree?

Not quite clear on your question. If you want just a clean look, Notepad++ should work nicely. Or perhaps you can import it into Excel using "/" delimited.

I want to be able to expand and collapse certain directories based based on the structure given in the OP.

How would I achieve this in Notepad++?

Ahh, gotcha now. Use Excel and use the "Data > Group" option. Be sure to give your sheet column headings. This should give you the + / - options on the side to expand your tree. It might take a bit of playing to get it formatted correctly.
