Recently I had a problem where I wanted a quick listing of folders and placing them into Excel.   There were numerous solutions using Macros, however this seemed a bit complicated.  So I decided to use a command line only  solution. It took ONE line of code to do.  Solution is after the break!Read More Below...

The solution was to use the dir function and the /b option and the redirection operator to output to a file.

dir /b > filelist.txt

Thats it all the contents were put into the file filelist.txt
If you want EVERYTHING including what’s in the sub directories try

dir /b /s > filelist.txt

OR how about just files ending in jpg?

dir /b /s */jpg > filelist.txt

Not too hard is it?  In addition it’s fast taking a second or two for thousands of files.   Granted this does not give you dates, but that could be done in the various other solutions.
