Retrieve CD TOC into EXCEL

[Max_Lamer]

Hi!

Does anyone have any idea how could I retrieve the TOC (table O
Content) of a CD form EXCEL directly? What I want to do, is get th
contents of a CD from freedb.org and import them into my CD database i
EXCEL. Now I have the part to retrieve the data from freedb almos
ready, but for it to be working I need to get the TOC.

I have found a VB5 and VB6 code to do that, but I do not know how t
convert that to VBA for EXCEL.


Thank you for any help,



G

You just want a list of what files are on the CD, right?

Several methods to accomplish this.......I like Tushar's best.

To add a "Print Directory" feature to Explorer, go to
this KB Article.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q272623&

Or you can download Printfolder 1.2 from.....

http://no-nonsense-software.com/freeware/

I use PF 1.2 and find it to be more than adequate with custom features.

OR Go to DOS(Command) prompt and directory.
Type DIR >MYFILES.TXT

All the above create a *.TXT file which can be opened in Excel.

One more method if you want to by-pass the *.TXT file and pull directly to
Excel is to use Tushar Mehta's Excel Add-in. This allows filtering and
sorting once you have the data in Excel.

http://www.tushar-mehta.com/ scroll down to Add-ins>Directory Listing.

Download the ZIP file and un-zip to your Office\Library folder.
