Some of you guys may already know about this, but I just found this out last night and thought it would be useful to share (especially in the dynamic image loading projects):
How to create a text file list of the contents of a folder: (Win)
Go to your DOS prompt and type:
- Type c: (or whatever the drive letter is that you’re trying to get to) and hit Enter.
- Type in the “cd” command with the full path to your folder you want the text file created from.
example:* cd\Documents and Settings\MichelleX\Desktop\project\images - *Then type the “dir >” command, along with the name of the text file you want and hit Enter.
example: dir >myimages.txt
So now, if you go to your folder, you’ll have a text file in there with a list of all things in that directory. With a little bit of cleaning up, you could just copy/paste those file names in your xml sheet or whatever you’re using.
cheers,
