in need of a prog

**harpo** · 03-17-2003, 10:47 AM

hey all, is there a prog that can get file lists? for example: i have a large mp3 collection, and i want to give a friend a list of the files, but i don't want to type out every filename. does there exist a prog that can grab filenames and paste them as text into a word processor?

It'll look a bit funny when you open it, but you can do:

Open a command prompt window:

cd c:\my\mp3\collection
tree /F > c:\mymp3.txt

That should list them out for you, but like I said, you'll have a bunch of weird characters in there too

Without funny characters:

cd c:\my\mp3\collection\
dir /s /b /p /o:g > mymp3.txt

very similar to what Cubsfan said, but without the high ascii representation of subfolders. just a list of all folders/subfolders with their contents.

Ya, what the Grape said.

If you are using Winamp 2.x, load all of your mp3 files into your playlist and then click the Misc button in the playlist window. Click Opt and then Generate HTML playlist. The playlist will appear in your web browser as an HTML file which you can save elsewhere.

*Edit* Yeah, basically what he said.
