I have loads of files on 3 CDs and want to list them or print them out- Is it possible?

[flier]

I thought I may be able to copy and paste or something similiar, but this doesn't work.

Any ideas anyone?

Using Mac or PC (and if PC, which version of Windows, please) ?

ANy idea how many files (a couple of hundred, or into thousands) ? Only ask because it may be easier to work with list as text files, unless you really want to print the names.

One list or three lists (ie are you planning to combine the names, with something like CD1 CD2 CD3 to show which names are on which CDs) ?

Sorry, lots of questions, but helps to know to give some possible ways to do it.

Another question is are there subfolders or are all the files all in one folder on the CD?

Presuming that this is on Windows you can do this....

Another question is are there subfolders?

Bring up a DOS window and enter the following:

c:

cd

dir PATHTOFILES /B > files.txt

Repalcing PATHTOFILES with the path to the folder on each CD (e.g. just E:\ or E:\Folder1)

You'll end up with a text file in the root of c: which will hold all the file names in that folder.

Repeat the process for each CD (or for each folder if there's only a small number of them) but giving a different filename each time (e.g. files1.txt and then files2.txt).

If you do have lots of subfolders on the CD then the final DOS command can be:
dir PATHTOFILES /B /S > files.txt

But you get the full path of each file, which may not be so useful

Thanks webdude and badgerspaws, you two are great
