(Maybe a dumb) MS Windows question

Post Reply New Topic

Is there any way to go into, say, Windows Explorer, select a big load of files, and copy and paste their file names into a Word or txt document?

And how about other details, such as creation date and file size?
And how about folders and sub-folders?

And another related q - if you go to add/remove programs via the control panel you can bring up a display of all your programs and their sizes. Is there any way to copy and paste this info into a Word or txt document?

I wonder if I'd need to create a program to do this! I know a bit of C++.
Or can I do it from the Command Prompt?

look up DOS commands

DIR should give you most of what you are looking for, it's best to pipe it into a text file: dir > textfile.txt the file is created automatically

it'll give you directories, but not subdirectories, you would have to do the navigation yourself in that case

Cool. Thanks!
That works.
