Sell you datasheet collections

Follow up:

We've had a few enquiries asking how to obtain a list of files within a directory and its subdirectories. In windows you can do something like this (replacing the drive and directory name with your own of course).

Start / Run / Cmd (hit enter to get command prompt)

DIR /S C:\\Datasheets > C:\\list.txt

This would create list.txt containing everything within the datasheets folder.

Thanks

I use a program called "Directory Lister". It creates a list for any directory and/or sub directories on any hard drive on your computer. I save the file to the hard drive, open my HTML editing tools and delete any lines I don't want, then resave it. I can also print it to my PDF software, if I need to send it to someone.

Isn't good old DOS useful. :-)

The redirection command ( > ) especially so.

- You can get the list of DIR options by typing dir /? at the command prompt. For example, dir /b /oe will output a list of file names alone (no details), one per line, sorted alphabetically within groups organized by file extension (also in alphabetical order).

- in the OP's example, if list.txt exists before the command is executed it will be overwritten without warning.

Whereas the above works with any Windows installation.

I live in fear of getting a job with a company that had the misfortune to employ you. However I believe I may have mentioned that before.

In the meantime, let's take some time to analyse why your response is stupid.

You... may go first.
