[Trainer-talk] Extracting a list of file names

[Gabe Vega]

ok great. when you are in the command prompt issue the cd command followed by the full path of the folder you want the file listing of. once in the folder, type ls > files.txt or what ever you want to name the file. with a .txt extention. the ls is the list files in directory command and the > sign tells it to print it to the text file. this is what you want I believe. I just tested it myself. good luck, hope this helps. if you need anything else, you know my office number right? (623) 565-9357. Free help for you any time, you know me like that Sheri.
