The Cellar - View Single Post - Importing file names from a folder into a text file?

glatt · 10-11-2007, 07:51 AM

Is there a simple way to take a bunch (around 300) of file names from a folder in Windows XP and dump those names into a single text file so you can edit them? I know you can do them one at a time by copying and pasting, but is there some other way to do all at once?

Is there a way to do this in DOS? It's been too many years since I used DOS and can't remember, but I think there was a way to at least print the file names. Maybe DOS is the best approach?

I really don't want to copy and paste these names individually. Help!
