Folder/Directory listings saved in Excel?
Is it possible to save (to a file) a listing of the contents of a folder or
directory? This would be useful for comparing names of files in say two different folders. It would also be good to save other attributes for the files - not just the names. I know there are non-MS downloads available to do this, but I'd rather have a MS-approved way of doing it. Surely some VB guru can come up with a little program to do this? I have a folder of files (.html). My users were to provide me a file of jpgs - 1 jpg per html. I know I have jpgs without htmls, and htmls wiithout jpgs. I know I could add the lot into one folder and sort on filename, and see where I don't have a pair, but I have many files and folders, and I'd feel better if I could do this in Excel, especially as I could show the users a report of what is missing. Thanks in advance to any Excel genuises out there P O'M |

Folder/Directory listings saved in Excel?
Several methods to accomplish this.......I like Tushar's best if importing
to Excel. To add a "Print Directory" feature to Explorer, go to this KB Article. http://support.microsoft.com/default...EN-US;q272623& Or you can download Printfolder 1.2 from..... http://no-nonsense-software.com/freeware/ I use PF 1.2 and find it to be more than adequate with custom features. OR Go to DOS(Command) prompt and directory. Type DIR MYFILES.TXT All the above create a *.TXT file which can be opened in Notepad or Excel. One more method if you want to by-pass the *.TXT file and pull directly to Excel is to use Tushar Mehta's Excel Add-in. This allows filtering and sorting once you have the data in Excel. http://www.tushar-mehta.com/ scroll down to Add-insDirectory Listing. Download the ZIP file and un-zip to your Office\Library folder.
