Program to capture file names in folder and output

the_viper2kie

Hey,
Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this, feel free to move. I was just wondering if there was a program out there that could capture all the file names in a folder and output the list to some program; word or even .txt. I've got folders with large amount of files that i want to backup and keep a list of what file is on what DVD.
I thought there might be a program out there that would do it automatically but a google threw up nothing for me.
Anyone know of anything or got any suggestions?

Thanks

Are you looking for an Auditing program, I don't know if this will be much help but iQuate do a good one and I think you can do a trail run on it. Google them.

Open a command prompt (Start > Run > type "cmd")

Then dir /b >myfiles.txt will create a text file named myfiles.txt in the same folder listing all files in the folder. dir /? will give you some more sorting and formatting options.

It's a bit crude but the dos command dir will work.
dir x:\foldername /s >filename.txt
You could also use the /w parameter to wide list format.

theres a program called Smartdir that will do what you want

Capt'n Midnight

lists all files and subfolders in order of name
Dir C:\ /B /S /O > filelist.txt

This gives the full path on each file
Dir C:\ /S /O > filelist.txt

you could rename the file to match the Volume label / name of the CD

If you want a live database of CD's you are looking at some sort of backup program with catalogs or an organise my collection program
