Since you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm Alternately... Get to a command prompt type: dir "c:\my documents\excel" c:\list.txt Change the folder to the one you want. Now back to excel and do: File|open point to c:\list.txt and you'll be able to parse the input file the way you want.

Several methods to accomplish this.......I like Tushar's best.
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.
