In this tutorial you may learn how to create or print a list of files in a folder (directory) with command prompt.
Creating a list of the contents of a specific folder manual can take a long time with “copy / paste” (eg if the folder is 100 files).
Therefore it is an automated solution to do this .
The fastest solution is a “dos” command that simply list the content of a folder (directory) to a text file .
This is done by following these steps:
1. click on Start button (Windows 8 and Windows by pressing X)
2. Type in the search window “cmd” or command prompt, a black window will open
3. Type the path to the folder “CD C: \ Users \ YOUR-user \ Desktop” path may be different.
4. After you type “dir / s / b> print.txt”
5. In this example, the desktop will create a text file print.txt where they will be all directory titles and every file extension.
1. CD C:\Users\YOURUSER\Desktop\FOLDERNAME type ENTER
2. dir / s / b> print.txt type ENTER
In the C:\Users\YOURUSER\Desktop\FOLDERNAME folder it will be created a print.txt file where all file names will be listed .
