Help with database /inventory

Hi i was wondering if there is a software that can convert or 'copy' the file names of my pdf files so I can transfer it to MS Excel or Word or to any document file. As I have hundreds of PDF files that I want to inventory or just to have a list at hand and categorize them. Hope someone can help, thanks!

 

You want to print a listing of the files in a certain directory?

Easy way for windows user. Use cmd and then "dir /b" and hilight, copy(right click), paste.

 

Thank you guys!!! Looks like this is what I need alright, cheers!

 

Ok tried the cmd "dir /b" but how do i highlight? I just "right clicked" it then "select all" then "ctrl c" then pasted it on notepad but I would have to delete everything else that I don't need...is this how this works? If that's the only way, it should be fine, just a little deleting, still took the time off from typing everything manually. Thanks again!

 

Are you asking how to only print pdfs? Type "dir /b *.pdf"

 

Nooo...i don't want to print, I just want to move them in a word docu or excel sheet

 

Use a redirection :
dir *.pdf > pdflist.txt
Then open pdflist.txt with word/excel...
Hope this help

 

Yes this helped great! Thanks!

 

actually it would help more if I typed

dir/b *.pdf>pdflist.txt

As this would then remove the unnecessary texts like bytes and dates. I hope this helps someone out now that I figured it out.

Thanks for everyones help!!
