On my PC I got a folder ABC. It has 100s of folders in it....say for example.. qwe qwr asd fgg hsf ...etc Is there a way to convert all the FOLDER NAMES to a TEXT FILE... (I need a text list of all the folders I have) The content of the text file would look something like this: qwe qwr asd fgg hsf ...
Open up your dos shell go to the folder ABC and type this - dir /b/p > textfile.txt Of course, change textfile.txt to whatever you want. Now, inside the folder, you'll see a new file with all the folder names
yea i thought about that too, or running a batch file, if it needs to be done more than once. I forgot the terminology though.
Command line DOS is/was a powerful tool... bit by bit it's slipping out of style and out of common knowledge. I still use a batch files for automating tasks like disk cleanup and backups...
Yea it's not very popular any more. Although, it's still just as useful and powerful. My dad is the sys admin at a hospital in Philadelphia, and he uses Batch's all the time to manage inventory data. So he can just send it to the users, instead of them managing it themselves.
BTW, the command above will list all files& folders .. ( i hope you only have 100 folders and not 100 folder and 100 normal files in it ) Anyone can suggest a command to list ONLY folders?
