Folks I've ask this question before and none of the suggestions worked for me.
I have about 650 jpg files. For a school
project, I need to make a printable list (index)of these file names. I need a doc, txt, or Excel file to work with as I will have to edit before printing. I've tried several dos bat file susggestions and a couple of share ware downloads with no help. I have Win XP2 and all the standard Microsoft Office programs to work with.

Adios

In your last thread you had 8 responses. If you had followup with it I believe the problem would have been resolved by then.

AJH you might try this site

On the left look for Dirctory Printer. You might be able to print out the contents of any folder.

Try this from a command line (make sure you do this from inside the folder that contains the files):

dir /b *.* >> jpglist.txt

This will put a copy of a "bare" (ie: filenames only) listing of all files in that folder into a text file called "jpglist.txt"

You can even specify a path for the file:

ex:
dir /b *.* >> c:\temp\jpglist.txt

Once you've created your text file, you can then print it out or do whatever you wish with it.

Oh, I forgot to add, if you like, you can even have the text file come out in alphabetical order by adding the /o switch as follows:

dir /b /o *.* >> jpglist.txt
