Win2k Directory Listing
« on: March 04, 2003, 02:53:35 PM »
It's me again, but you'll be glad to know that I shouldn't have any more questions about the A1200 EZ-Tower :-)

I have a directory of mp3's and want a list of them printed out - I'm not gonna type every one of them into a text file myself because there's about 200 of them.

In AmigaDOS there's a way to output a drawer list to a text file ( dir >RAM:list.txt - I think).  Is there a way to so this in Win2k?

Yeah, 7 pages of almost usless stuff :-D

This is the exact command I used:

dir/o /b >D:\testing.txt

And it worked perfectly.  I don't know why I never thought of it before, I used to use DOS a lot in my early computing days.  I didn't think it'd be as simple as that, or if it would even work - it is a PC after all ;-) - and I never thought it'd be almost exactly the same as it is in AmigaDOS - let's face it PC's arent that sensible are they ;-)

Cheers guys :-D
