[Howto] Create a list of all files/folders in one folder

[Mave]

The first thing you want to do is to locate to the directory you want the list of.
Then you copy the path, for example "C:\Users\Mave\Music\DnB\Vinyls"

Next thing you do is open up Command Prompt.

Now type "cd", a space, and then right click, and select 'paste'.
Next type "dir > filelist.txt"

The textfile can be found in the same directory you wanted to list the contents from.

And you're done!

Pretty useful!

Yeah indeed, great for when you want to share a list of all the mp3's/movies/... you have with someone.

Very useful if you're releasing a MEGA pack of Movies, songs, or anything else!

Thanks!

Yeah, but I will never release a MEGA pack of Movies. Thanks for the share though

You can see, the command-line shell is pretty powerful. You can do things with it MUCH faster than doing things with the GUI.

A tip for the tip:
There is much input you don't need. So just use

dir /b > "file.txt"

and it will ONLY output the filenames.
You can also sort the ouput with /o and much more.

Lovely, I would love to see a list of all the possible commands :V

 

[GPow69]

That'd be quite the lengthy list.

Then input "help" and you have a list. If you don't know how to use a command or what it does: "help commandname".

^ Thanks Remis.
