Program to make a text list of folders and or files...???

[Bartman39]

I have a very large collection of full MP3 albums (Yes I have the originals) and need to find a program to take all the titles and convert them into text to make a printable catalog... I`ve done some searching but cant find what I need...?

Or is there a way to do it with the windows explorer...?

HELP...!

go into good old dos and do soemthing like this:


dir > files.txt


i might be a bit off on the syntax but thats the way you do it.




dam()

^^^^^ what he said

if your mp3s are organized in directories, you can use
dir /s > filename.txt


-1043-

As DAM said

dir /s > file.txt

using the /s gets a list of the subdirectories below the root that you started at.

The command will list all files in each directory.

Also if you want a nice view if the dirs but not the files, you can do "tree > filename".

I like to use
dir /o:n /s /b > filelist.txt

the /s lists stuff in subdirectories as previously mentioned
the /b drops off the date, time, and filesizes from your list
the /o:n puts everything in alphabetical order including the subdirectories and their contents
and the > filelist.txt is self-explanatory
