Output/export a list of files names

Richy

I want output a list of files names(file name and
directory)in a text format.

Explorer/search will give me the list of files (also DIR
in a DOS window), but how do I get that into a text format
that I can manipulate?

Hi, Richy.

In the "DOS" window, type DIR /? to see a list of possible switches.
Perhaps DIR /B is what you're looking for. You might also want to try the
TREE command. As you probably know, you can direct the output of these
commands to a text file with the > character: dir > direct.txt

Then there's this KB article:
