I copied five PRN files in one. How can I print a part of this last file to print one of the originals?

Don't fully understand the question , here is my file . Hope it helps .

1. Dozens of shareware to do this.
2. Go to a DOS prompt and type: DIR C:\foldername\*.* >LPT1

3. Print Folder Directories

Found this in PcWorld’s January issue:

"Here’s an easy way to print a list of the files contained in
a folder from inside Windows Explorer."

Launch Notepad, then type:

Dir %1> lpt1: and press Enter
Now type cls on the second line, BUT DO NOT PRESS Enter

There must not be anything, not even a blank line after ‘cls’.
Save the two line file in you C:\Windows\Send To folder as
printdir.BAT

Now when you want to a printout of the files in a folder, right
click on the folder in Windows Explorer, and select
Send TO->printdir.bat

----------

Dir C:\foldername\*.* >filename.txt (this will create a text file
to do with as you please)

----------

Print Folder: http://no-nonsense-software.com/freeware
Click on Download in the right hand column & go to Freeware .

----------

Or, if you don't want another program, here's 2 batch files,
one for creating a .txt file, the other sends it straight to
the printer.

Open Notepad (only), type in **exactly** (or copy/paste from here)

For the .txt file:

dir %1 > C:\list.txt: cls

& save as: textdir.bat

For the printer:

dir %1 > lpt1: cls

& save as: printdir.bat

I save these two files in my "Send to" folder, that way I can just
right click on the folder to execute.
