printing directories?

[Anonymous]

Forgive me if this is out of place but...

i thought i saw a tip for how to print the contents of a directory?

can this bre done in some simple way, from within win 2k?

this is so i can print out a list of files that i archive to cd. i have

tried screen capture prog. but the res. is poor and hard to read.

there must be a way to do this! please help if you can.

thanks a million

There is a thread about it in pn.take5 titled "All right...finally learned
how to print the contents of a folder". Somebody suggested the freeware
program PrintFolder from http://no-nonsense-software.com

I DLed it, and it works pretty good.

HTH,

JD-

I go to the DOS command line (START-RUN...type "command.com" in the run
box).
Then I do a DOS directory command and direct it to the printer:

dir >lpt1

One can use wildcards and sort options as well.

I found this batch routine the other day. Real complex. I do not know how
they figured it out. 🙂

{Start copy next line}
dir %1 > Printer name
cls
{Stop copy last line}
Make sure there is not an enter after the "cls".
Save it as "printdir.bat"
If you put this in the "Send To" directory you can right click on the folder
to be printed and say send to "printdir.bat"
I forget where I found this or else I would give credit. If anyone knows
please let me know.

There is a way in dos to do it and it's very simple. But, you have to learn
pipes and the such. let's say for example you want to know the files in
your project directory. you would do the following:

cd c:\projects
dir *.dwg>list.txt
When that finishes look for the list.txt file on your hard-drive.

Then you can open the text file from something like notepad and print it
from there.
