Is there any way to copy a folder's listed titles without copying the contents?

Question

I have about 200 PDF files in a folder. I need to copy and paste the titles only ,to WORD. Is there any way to do this without copying the contents of each PDF? I'm using XP PRO, and Windows Explorer.

Answer 1

The only easy way I can think of is to use the PRNT SCRN option. Hit the PRNT SCRN key on your keyboard and then go to word and then use the PASTE option to paste the image on the word document.

The other way is to go to START, then RUN and type cmd. It will bring up the DOS prompt. Just go to the folder and then type dir/p and it will bring up the list of pdf files. Just copy and paste them to word.

Yes, you can try this trick from Microsoft's website. It involves you creating a batch file that gives orders to print out the contents of a directory to a text file. You can then use this text file and paste the contents to word.

Answer 4

As I understand you want "list of files" contained in a folder. Is it so? Sure, the easiest way :::::
You would better install ACDSea 3.0 or higher version. Using its tools, you can "generate" a list of "contents of the folder", as a text file.
Done?

Answer 5

You dont need any other program to do this..

Go to dos prompt,
start menu -> RUN
type in cmd

in the black dos screen, browse to that folder ,
bu doing a cd ( full path)
example:
cd "c:\abcd\pdf docs"

type dir /b > a.txt

then check the a.txt, it will have all the names


if you type
dir /b/s >a.txt
it will show subfolder contents

You can try
tree /f/a > a.txt

----
finally open the a.txt and copy, paste...
