How do i get a directory listing to save in word/text format without copying the directory by hand.

thanks

right click on drl scroll down to copy left click
goto where you wana take it
right click left click paste

you can use the > in a dos window i cna't remember the exact syntax though

just navigate in dos to directory listing

/p /w = page and width

right click on DOS window and select MARK

highlight text press ENTER and then open word/notepad/email and paste

right
in a folder window navigate to the diryou want a list of, copy the address

then in dos window click the little "C:" in the top left menu
edit
paste

edit the pasted line to read
cd followed by the dir you want a list of, press enter dos should be in the dir now

then type
dir > list.txt

this will generate a text file of all the files in that folder,

I'm no expert but it works and is how i do itin work, there is probably an easier way

thanks have done it throught the dos window, who would of thought that you still need to use dos to get a directory listing.

k33ts dos window is also called commend prompt in the accessories section of windows.
