[REQ] Really Simple Proggie

[ghost716]

Ok so I'm looking for a program that I can direct to a folder with a large number of files inside and it will output the names of all hte files to a text file or just to text that I can copy and paste. It seems to simple NOT to exist, but because its so simple I can't seem to search for it without getting 10,000 results on sourceforge :/

any help?

cmd.exe
dir c:\whatever
dir > test.txt

you now have all the filenames in that directory in the test.txt file.

actually, "dir /b > list.txt" would be better. The /b switch outputs just the file names and not any attributes.

this is what i did, tell me if you have a better idea

f:\> (this is the root that im in) dir /s movies\ >> f:\results.txt

i think thats what it was atleast
tell me if it looks wrong lol
but it worked
it had attributes tho, which i wasnt exactly happy about lol

then read the post above yours, the /b switch removes the attributes.
