Programs that list all files in a directory

Howdy'all.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any programs that will make a text file that lists the names of all of the files in the directory and sub directorys. Has anyone heard of something that can do this?

U always can go to console and use old good dos "dir > list.txt"

Heh, now the question is how do you open directories in dos.

Heh, now the question is how do you open directories in dos.  

Type c: if you want C: and cd operationflashpoint\addons to get c:\operationflashpoint\addons..

cd.. to go back a dir

If you need subdirectories "tree /F > files.txt" might be more the thing you want. You open a dos box in a folder by opening your windows menu, click on run and type in "cmd". In the dosbox you can change to the drive you want by typing its letter followed by a colon, eg "c:". Then change to the folder you want to by typing "cd folder\subfolder" or "cd folder" followed by "cd subfolder".

Welcome, this is the H.S.A. crash guide into dos commands.

cd - change directory

cd.. - move one directory up

cd \ - move to the root directory

cd folder - move to folder

cd folder\subfolder - self explanatory

md - make directory

md folder - creates directory folder

dir - directory

dir - list the content of the directory

dir *.* - list all files of a directory (no folders)

dir *.exe - list all .exe files

you can always use /? after a command to display infos about it.

>file after a command will save all results into file

example: dir *.* > files.txt

you can find a lot about dos commands on the net, there's still MUCH more, hehe, DOS is more powerful than some would think

Sweet, thanks guys. Who woulda known you could still use DOS.

I use it very often. For instance to get a list of my mp3 folder files ;)

dir - directory

dir - list the content of the directory

dir *.* - list all files of a directory (no folders)

dir *.exe - list all .exe files

/p or was it \p I remember using it, think it pauses long list so it doesn't scroll down to the bottom, instead it shows one page at a time, you got press space to continue down to the next section and so on.

But then again, its been ages, can't remember the rest.

In the original DOS it was |more, but you're right, in the xp dos command box the parameter /p is used for displaying outputs per page.

You can use the parameter /s to also list the content of sub directories, by the way.
