Stupid question…any one know how to create a file list of a directory without manually type it on word? ie. a list of mp3/music video list.. thanks.

Can you not just call the directory in a dos window and copy/paste the information out?

Actually just tried this and you have to right click on the title bar of the dos window and go properties, quick edit mode
Then you can highlight a box of info and just use ctrl+c to copy it to clipboard, then paste as normal.
There may be more sophisticated ways, but this is pretty easy.

thanks mighty matt…it worked perfectly! 

What are you guys talking about?  :shock:

What is file listing?

They mean a listing of files in a directory…i.e.

C:\Temp\Onmywayup.avi
C:\Temp\linc.avi
C:\Temp\Mighty Matt.avi

There’s three ways to do this.

1. Type it out manually. But that’s a pain…and tedious.
2. Open a command prompt and simply type dir >> filelist.txt
3. Open a command prompt, right click to Mark text, select the text, hit ENTER and then paste it into whatever app you want.

dir /S will show subdirectories and it’s files

I knew that there’d probably be a quicker/easier way to do it, but was glad to fill the gap till gr00vy got his butt in gear

@gr00vy:  What is the movie that you have of me… you been hacking into my motion eye after installing some program on my TR through the forum   :evil:

I’d hate to see what he has on jiggy.  He brings the TR to the toilet with him! :ph34r:

In contrast, a video of me would be flat out boring.  When I am not selling houses, the only other stuff I basically do with the TR is read the bible and check to see how pathetic of a season the Miami Dolphins will have this year.

Then there is the occasional excitement of me paying bills. :D
