Capture list of files to a Spreadsheet or Document
April 18, 2007
I have had the question asked a few times over the years, and the solution has been the same since DOS (Disk Operating Sytem). That is before Windows existed.
You want to create a spreadsheet or document that contains the list of files from a folder. This solution exist for PC’s running windows
1) Click START, then click RUN
2) Type in CMD and select OK.
The Windows Command Prompt appears.
3) Access the directory where your files are.
For example: If the files are located in Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\My
Music, then you would type CD “C:\documents and settings\user name\my documents\my music”
and press the enter key.
If you are unsure of the correct path right click one of the files in the directory that
you wish to make a list of and select properties from the menu popup and then look for the
field Location, this will give you the path.
4) Once you have accessed the directory (step 3) then type :
DIR> c:\myfiles.txt
then press enter.
This will create a text file myfiles.txt in the root drive of c:\. You can designate the folder or drive where you want the txt file to be created.
5) In Explorer, browse to the folder, locate the myfiles.txt file.
Note this file can be edited in Notepad, Word, Excel or any other Word processing program you have.
