I did this a coupl of times and every time i had to look or the information on the web so this time i sortof thought to document it for reference and many others might find it usefull too.

It comes in handy when large list of files with their paths has to be created. As one can not type in the paths for say a directory containing 1000 or so images but to really need to do that for some data base or a gallary.

To do this we just need to type in a single lin in command promt and all s done…

1) Open the command line (cmd.exe in NT/2000/XP)
2) Navigate to the required directory using the cd command.
3) type dir /b>filelist.txt

A file called filelist.txt will be created with the directory contents. If you want to create the file list elsewhere, use a fully qualified file name or use the ..\ convention. Don’t forget that Windows uses \ not / as directory delimiters.
