How can I create a file that lists everything in a folder?

[Koenigsegg]

I have lots of pictures that I've uploaded and want to list of them all to create an HTML page with them..

 

[KLin]

1. open a command prompt
2. type dir > list.txt

 

[BatmanNate]

dir >list.txt

Beaten to the punch!

 

[Rookie]

in DOS go to the directory and type dir > myfiles.txt

Edit: Syntax and Triple teamed!

but include the /b switch to get just the file names and not the crap

dir /b > text.txt

There are powertoys that will allow you to do this using Windows. I have it installed on my machine here at work.

Open directory
Select files that you want
Right-click, Send To, Clipboard as Name

Don't have the powertoys? Google

Good luck!

dir /b > txt.txt is windows

i am not sure what it is in *nix

does the OP have windows or *nix or apple? what makes you think it isn't windows?

 

[randomlinh]

ls *plus whatever options* > filename

wouldn't that work for the *nix?


but i would not use any of these methods for making an html page.. if windows, use the html album generator from powertoys.. if *nix... have fun
