For Windows operating systems.

If you've ever wanted to get a list of song files and style files in a specific folder, the below might help. Once such a list is obtained, loading it into a spreadsheet makes it easy to sort and to catalogue the information.

The below pdf that I put together explains how to use the Command Prompt in Windows to get a list of all the files in a folder. The process creates a single text file containing the names. It looks much more complicated that it actually turns out to be.

How to get a list of files in a folder (quick and easy approach)

oh boy !!!
DOS commands


from a command prompt (and from memory)

any output filename can be used. the following are just examples


dir > filedirectory.txt creates file a list of current directory

dir /s > alldirs.text creates file sweeping all directories down


dir >> filedirectory.txt concatenates file if it already exits

useful if your grabbing multiple non-contiguous directories


dir *.sgu >biabsongs.txt gives you only files with sgu extension.
the above can morph forever with *'s and ???

don't get me started on ls (unix)


admittedly the file has some unwanted detritus in it besides the file name, but a quick pass with notepad++ will fix it.
A spreadsheet may even clean it up for you. don't know
