How do I list files n stuffs?

[senorblinky]

i just want a simple way to export the contents of my folders.
I have one external drive now, and it is basically dedicate for all my entertainment, it's extremely basic, i havethe following folders:
Comedy (comedy tours, comedy central, Funny MP3s etc)
E-Books (no manuals)
Games (not the stuff i am currently playing, but rather ISOs and cracks for future use)
Movies (movies, no categories, just all my movies, blam)
Music (again, no catergories, just 225GB of album folders)
Software (Drivers, hacks, cheats, patches etc)
TV Series (well done, you guessed it)

Now what i want to do, is EXPORT that into a text file, that will give me a tree of the folder contents, IE

H:\[-]Drobo[/-]External Drive\Entertainment\TV Series\My name is earl\Season 1\Earl goes to camp.MPG
H:\[-]Drobo[/-]External Drive\Entertainment\TV Series\My name is earl\Season 1\Earl eats a doughnut.MPG
H:\[-]Drobo[/-]External Drive\Entertainment\TV Series\My name is earl\Season 1\Season Finale.MPG
H:\[-]Drobo[/-]External Drive\Entertainment\TV Series\My name is earl\Season 2\Earl Rides again.MPG
H:\[-]Drobo[/-]External Drive\Entertainment\TV Series\My name is earl\Season 2\MNIE Epi 2.MPG

See what i mean?

open a command prompt

type in :

dir /s "H:\External Drive\Entertainment\TV Series\* > H:\External Drive\MyList.txt

press enter

wait a while while it runs

go edit H:\External Drive\MyList.txt in notepad or something, all the files with their dates and stuff will be there, messy as all heck.

Then, if you want only the filenames, use :

dir /s /b "H:\External Drive\Entertainment\TV Series\* > H:\External Drive\MyList.txt

Then, if you want only the filenames, ordered by name, use :

dir /s /b /on "H:\External Drive\Entertainment\TV Series\* > H:\External Drive\MyList.txt

Cool?

By the way :
> makes a new file every time.

>> appends to the existing file or makes a new one if none were there.

Blinky, that would be rd /s /q h:\

Deltree doesn't exist in XP. :p

blinky still uses file manager with win3.1. He's old skool like that.

Tree is another useful command. and you can use the pipes for that too :)

ie..

Tree /f H:\ > H:\Tree.txt
