Directory listing

Sharopolis

I know this isn't stricly Spectrum related,but I can't think of anyone better to entrust my technical problems with than the Spectrum brotherhood.
Does anyone know how to list the contents of a directory in windows as a text file? I want to list the contents of my emulation/rom directories so I can give them to a friend, but I've no idea how. Im sure this cant be hard, but I cant work it out. Any ideas?

Or use dos prompt
dir *.*>text.txt
This will create a file called text.txt and write all the output from dir *.* (make sure its in the games directory) to a file instead of the screen

Make that
dir *.* /S > text.txt
for subdirectory's as well.

It'd be nice to have it alphabetically sorted, as well:

dir *.* /s /o:n > list.txt

(or you'd better have the list.txt file created somewhere else, otherwise it'll show up in the file list :)

Or add /B after the DIR command to just show the filenames.. This may not always be suitable, but try it and see if you prefer it...
