How to make an editable list of folder contents?
« on: April 18, 2006, 10:18:26 AM »
Here is specifically what I want to do-

I have ripped my entire CD collection to my hard drive and would like to share the list of bands in my collection on some other forums.  I have Win XP and know of no way to do this.  It isn't even anything I have encountered before, but it makes me miss Windows versions with DOS compatibility.  *sigh*

At any rate, my cd collection is at E:/albums.  I want to make an editable text listing of the contents of that directory WITHOUT listing all of the subfolders.  For example, the band folders in my E:albums directory are 3 Doors Down, 10 Years, 12 Stones, AC/DC, etc.  THAT is the list I want to create as a text file and be able to edit.

Any tips?

Code: [Select]
cd e:\albums
dir > blah.txt

That should save everythin in blah.txt (type it into the command prompt).
I forget if that's how you output to text files in windows but if it doesn't work you can always try:
Code: [Select]
cd e:\albums
dir
And then copy/paste everything it gives you.
