text from folder list
« on: July 20, 2012, 05:47:37 PM »
I want to speed up one of my processes at work. Basically I want to eliminate typing something in twice. I'm using windows 7.

Say that I have a file folder with several pdf files (or any files for that matter) - is there a way of taking that list of files and pasting it into a word processing program or excel? right now I retype them into excel, but there needs to be a way of doing it an easier way. Maybe there is a way of getting an editable list of a folder's contents :dunno:

any help would be appreciated.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

I think I asked this once before so I could catalog my .mp3 files and someone gave me a program that does it also (with GUI). I'll search and see if i can find the post.

Command line?

What's a command line?


(Just kidding, but still sort of surprised that they're still around.)
