Floppy Disk Files

[FZWG]

Appreciate some assistance.

Have a group of files (.doc) stored in a floppy disk, and would like to make a list of the titles of all these files.

Had no luck with Edit>Select All>Copy. This only copies one file, not only the title, but the whole thing!

All I want to do is copy all the titles of the files saved on the floppy. Is there a way of doing this, or is there some sort of software needed for the job?

Thanks for the help.

I know there's a command in DOS (Windows command prompt) that lets you print a DIR directly to a text file. I havn't used DOS in a while so I don't remember, but hopefully someone does recall it.

Hi FZWG,

Simply type from the command line:

dir > textfile.txt

where "textfile.txt" is any EIGHT character file name, and you should keep the "txt" file extension so that other programs, like Work or Notepad, will recognized it as a text file.

Also, you can type:

dir /?

to see a list of "dir" command switches; there are some useful tools there

Thank you for the replies.

Tried the DOS route:

dir a:\*.doc > files.txt and also C:\>dir A: >> C:\list.txt

and what was listed were not the titles of the documents, just the short DOS names, file type, etc.

Was suggested to use a utility called 'List-FC' from the Reticulated Toys website, and it got the job done. All the long file names were listed.

Happy camper!!
