How do I save a txt file of the files in my Windows folder?

Question

I need to create a spreadsheet of all the files in my working folders. I knew of a way to do this in the DOS prompt a long time ago, but of course I forgot.

Answer 1

say you want all files and files under subfolders in your c:\windows folder

c:\>cd\windows
c:\windows> dir /s > c:\windowsfiles.txt

If you don't want files in subfolders, just remove the /s switch

Answer 2

You take me back a long way --

List of DOS commands below.

Wasn't it

dir c:\program files\msoffice\office\word\folder c:\filename.prn

replacing your folder and files, of course.

You will have to open the file and clean it up.
It should be in table format.
Can't you save it to a txt file or csv then import it into Excel?

Would appreciate knowing if it works.
