Ive got numerous folders (500+) filled with files and it would be useful if i could list them in excel for example.

Does anyone know how to do this without having to write them all out 1 by 1? Ultimately i need to be able to stick them in a table in access so i can database all the files/folders correctly.

TIA

In a command prompt, dir *.* /b/s > filelist.txt for all folder and files or dir * /AD /b/s > folderlist.txt for just folder names.

ouputs as a text file which can be pasted in excel.

edit :
you can do this with flashfxp

in the right selection, go to the folder that contains all your folders/files
on the top toolbar click directory/copy directory to clipboard
then just paste it into notepad or where ever you want :)

or just google for a little app called 'folderinfo'
you can generate lists in lots of different formats and choose to show/hide different information.
lot of different configs for lists.
