Can anyone tell me where I might find a script that copies the contents in a folder in a program like windows explorer into a readme file?

I'm sure there is a product that does that beautifully, but I do

dir /B > dir.txt

at the command prompt when I'm in the folder that contains the files I want to list.

In case you do not know who to open the command line interface (like the old DOS thingie), Assuming you're using Vista - simply type CMD in the Search box in the START menu and it'll open the command line thing (like old time DOS)

then type D: [enter] (or whatever the name of your CD drive is) and once that's done, type dir/s >C:CD1.txt [enter]
That will output whatever the content is on Drive D to a text file On the C: drive called CD1. The /s makes it include subdirectories. Change the 1 to 2 for the next CD ect....

And apologies if this is old hat. Some are used to DOS commands,. some are not :)"

I think this is what you are looking for.

I use the /B switch because that way I don't get all the information about the file like the date and time created... just the name of the file itself. Unless, of course, you want that other stuff, then you're laffin'...

Thank you, I appreciate the help. I only wanted to use it to speed up making my readme files for my products. Thanks again.
