Re: Program to copy list of files from Windows explorer as text into an application?

/s - includes subdirectories (Folders)
c: - Tells it which drive letter and where to start

c-files.txt - just a file name I made up for this example.

If this doesn't help or you are looking for something more specific I will gladly answer any question.
I use this method when trying to backup data to CD-Rs - mostly when trying to sort MP3s.
Other DOS commands work also. Try 'TREE" to get an ASCII copy of the Explorer file display.
