Solve : Batch file to output file names?

Answer»
Hi

I want to write a batch FILE that will search a folder for all files and copy the file names to a text file. I tried the "list_of_files" COMMAND but that gives me extra information like size of file , time modified etc which I do not want.

The batch file i am looking for will simply output the names of all files to a text file without any other info. Could someone help me with this?


thanks
use the /b switch with the dir command to get just the names

Code: [SELECT]dir /b > files.txt
Note that files.txt will be included in the list if it is in the same folder.

use the /a-d switch to exclude directory names

type dir /? at the prompt to see all options and switches.

The FILENAME files.txt is just an example. You do not have to use it.
Thanks mate, that did the trick
