Output the contents of a folder to a text file
Collegue has a requirement to form an index of the contents of a folder. He has a large folder full of .pdf documents, all of which have "fully descriptive" hence long file names.
I did a search and came up with something from 2000 using the dos prompt, and listing the directory then using the > command to generate filename.txt. can't get this to work comes up as unknown command.
Am I missing something or is this a feature of the psuedo dos implementation in XP.
If this is so, how can I produce a listing of the contents of a folder that will subsequently be editable in word or notepad etc?
