Solved Command Line Prompt - How To Export List of Files to Text File

[bingefeller]

Hi guys,

I have a folder with 995 files in it and I'd like to give someone a text file with a list of all these files in it. Is there a way that I can get the command line to send the names of these files to a text file?

I tried navigating to the directory and using the DIR command and, sure enough it gives me a list but I am unable to copy and paste it to a textfile myself for some reason.

Any help would be appreciated.

type this:

DIR > dir.txt

This should save the output of DIR into the text file dir.txt

Thanks for the help. Got it working now!!

Try Dir "C:\Users\user\Unsorted\Guitar Tab\PDF files" > "C:\Users\user\Desktop\dir.txt"
