Copy all Filenames in a Directory to a Text File

This works great if you want to save all the filenames in a directory to a text file.

And Guys You can simply create a list of your Movies folder or Songs folder and Subfolders with this simple command in DOS. Here do like this.

  1. Open up your command prompt by typing cmd in the run dialog box and hitting Enter.
  2. Navigate to the directory which has the files and type the following command -
    DIR /B /O:N > filename.txt

    This will save all the filenames in the current directory to a text file. The text file will be saved in the same directory.

  3. To save file names from any sub-directories in the current folder, just add /S like -
    DIR /B /O:N /S > filename.txt

Here is the example how you how it looks in DOS prompt Window:
