Printing Directory Contents

Post by burtonfigg »

I'm sure I read / saw somewhere that TextPad can be used to generate a text file containing the contents of a windows directory.

I've got a Windows directory and I want to list its contents in a text file - I know there are other free apps on the web I could use, but I'm sure I've seen it done using TextPad - perhaps by using something in the Start > Run window - any ideas?

Thanks

Jim

Under Tools, Choose Run...

Then enter
dir
plus your windows directory
Check "DOS command" and "Capture Output".

After running, copy the contents of the command result window into a new text window.
