> Why?
A database is not a flat file system!
What relevance this sentence holds wrt OP's question ? Does "database being a flat file system" really help ? OP is asking for some way to list out files in a folder.

Printing a list of files in a folder

Is it possible to print a list of files in a folder?

Thanks for all your work-arounds. Here's a comparison which might be useful for others:
• Copying and pasting into a text file or word processor gave me a list of the titles;
• Dragging onto a printer in the dock gave me title, size and date; a little difficult to read across the lines as they are spaced across the whole width of my A4 page;
•Print Window (free version) gives a printout of the information in the window that you choose. The lines are quite widely spaced which makes it legible, but means it takes a lot of pages for a big folder;
• Print Window Advanced ($20) allows you to out put as a file, so you can design a format that suits you. I use Excel a lot for these kinds of tasks so this suits me very well. You can also print our a format for cd covers which—useful for archiving.

Convert list of files in a folder to text?

Is there an easy way to convert the list of files in a folder into a text document? In other words I would like to create a text list of the names of all the files in a given folder - just the individual file names, not the entire path of each file.
Any ideas? Seems like there should be some simple way to do this.
Thanx!

If you copy the desired items in a Finder window and do a *Paste and match Style* into a TextEdit document, the file names will be pasted in. If you have TextWrangler (or BBEdit), dragging a folder into a document will give also you a list of the contents.

Cant get list of files from a folder (even though the folder and files are created with the same app)

Ok so each character rolled with my app gets saved as an html file in a folder i create on the sdcard called RpgApp
the code to do this is
private async Task saveToHtmlCharacter(string name)
StorageFolder externalDevices = Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.RemovableDevices;
StorageFolder sdcard = (await externalDevices.GetFoldersAsync()).FirstOrDefault(); //Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
var dataFolder = await sdcard.CreateFolderAsync("RpgApp",
CreationCollisionOption.OpenIfExists);
var file = await dataFolder.CreateFileAsync(name+".html",
CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(await file.OpenStreamForWriteAsync()))
writer.WriteLine("<html><head><title>Character File for " + z.charNameFirst + " " + z.charNameSecond + "</title></head><body>");
//trimed for the post
now this as i say works perfectly and i can confirm that the files show up in the "RpgApp"folder
now the next step is to have the app read the names of each of those html files and create a seperate button for each one named for the filename and with the filename as content (later i will link them up to load the html file they are named for in a webbrowser
panal)
here is the code that *should* do that
private async Task readFiles()
z.test.Clear();
StorageFolder externalDevices = Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.RemovableDevices;
StorageFolder folder = (await externalDevices.GetFolderAsync("RpgApp"));
IReadOnlyList<StorageFile> fileList = await folder.GetFilesAsync();
//z.test.Add("dummy");
foreach (StorageFile file in fileList)
z.test.Add(file.Name);
public async void buttonTest()
await readFiles();
CoreDispatcher dispatcher = CoreWindow.GetForCurrentThread().Dispatcher;
await dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
foreach (string name in z.test)
Button button1 = new Button();
button1.Height = 75;
button1.Content = name;
button1.Name = name;
testStackPanal.Children.Add(button1);
now i say should as what i get is an error of "A first chance exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in mscorlib.ni.dll" (2 of them in fact one after another)
more detailed error is at http://pastebin.com/3hBaZLQ9
now i went through checking line after line to find the error and line that causes it is:
StorageFolder folder = (await externalDevices.GetFolderAsync("RpgApp"));
in the readFiles method
i checked to make sure the case is right etc and its spot on, that IS the folder name, and remember my app creates that folder and creates the files that are inside that folder (and only files my app creates are in that folder) so it should have access
im 100% stuck its taken me all day to get the files to save and now i cant get them to list correctly
I have tested the button creation function with fake list data and that worked fine, as i say the error is when i tell it to look at the folder it created
all help most greatfully recieved

this was actually solved for me on another forum thread
async Task<bool> continueToReadAllFiles(StorageFolder folder)
if (folder == null)
return false;
if (folder.Name.Equals("RpgApp", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))
var files = await folder.GetFilesAsync();
foreach (var file in files)
test.Add(file.Name);
return false;
var folders = await folder.GetFoldersAsync();
foreach (var child in folders)
if (!await continueToReadAllFiles(child))
return false;
return true;
public async void buttonTest()
test.Clear();
StorageFolder externalDevices = Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.RemovableDevices;
var folders = await externalDevices.GetFoldersAsync();
foreach (var folder in folders)
if (!await continueToReadAllFiles(folder))
break;
//.... commented out
...now i say solved this is more a workaround...but it works.
I would love to know why we cant just scan the RpgApp folder instead of having to scan the whole dc card and disregard all thats not in the RpgApp folder

Display list of files on windows 2000 server

Im wondering if there is an API for this or something to browse the windows 2000 file system via web page. I do not have to browse all directories. The directory will be fixed. I just need to get the file names within a directory and display them on my web page. Once I have the name I can simply host out and delete or move or etc.
maybe someone can guide me as to the name of the API, if it exists Or if one such api doesnt exist.

You can use the standard Java API for this:
@see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/io/File.html
You'd typically do something like:
File myDir = new File("c:/some/directory");
File[] folderContents = myDir.listFile();Then, you can loop through this array to determine if each content of the directory is a file or another folder, and print out each name:
out.println("Contents of " + myDir.getPath() + ":<br>");
//sort the array
java.util.Arrays.sort(folderContents);
//loop through and print each.
for (int i=0; i<folderContents.length; i++){
if (folderContents.isDirectory()){
out.print("Directory: ");
} else {
out.print("File: ");
//print the filename
out.println(folderContents[i].getName());
out.println("<br>");
Alternatively, for simply the names you could use
String[] folderContents = myDir.list();but you'd only have the names of the directory contents, and no access to whether each item was a sub-directory or a file.
Hope this helped,

Strange files in Windows folder after SB drivers instal

I recently installed the Sound Blaster Li've! - Li'veDrvUni-Pack for my Sound Blaster 5.. I didn't know if I should have found 5. specific drivers or not. The card works fine, but I noticed that some strange files that appeared in my C:\Windows folder after the install. There are 2 files: one is a Channel File and the other is a BAK file. Both have an extremely large number of zeros in their names. What are these files for and why did they pop up after I installed the drivers?

How to show the checked-out symbol in list of files in a folder

Hi,
When the folder is selected it is showing all the files in that folder. But, the user would not know which file had been checked out. In general it should show the lock symbol (As similar to Documentum, webtop) when a file had been checked out by some other user.
How to show the lock/key column in list of files. Any other way to find a file had been checked out or not instead of going into the content information.
Also, how do we add additional columns like author etc... to the list of files screen in UCM?
Please help

You should double check, but I don't believe that the check-out info is in the resultset. Because that information isn't available, the state of each row in the search results table cannot be defined. So, the first hurdle would be to add that info to the dataset.
The second hurdle would be to alter the UI to leverage that info (e.g., the key icon when checked out).
If you're looking to alter the folder views, then look to the COLLECTION_DISPLAY service & related template. Other views (e.g., search results) have different templates and backing services.

CSA - random temp file in windows folder, no extension

So I have this ASP.NET application that insists on placing its temp files directly in the Windows directory. AND it doesn't use any kind of extension. So how do you allow this without making the windows folder vulnerable?
Here is an example of the event:
TESTMODE: The process 'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\csc.exe' (as user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE) attempted to access 'C:\WINDOWS\2Z1J1J1Q1Q8Q8Q8X'. The attempted access was a write (operation = OPEN/CREATE). The operation would have been denied.
Wow, crazy! Okay do this:
- create a new File Access Control rule
- set to Priority Allow
- choose your application (in my case, ASP.NET)
- check Read and Write
- create new File Set
- Directories matching: @windows
- Files matching: ????????????????
- but not: *.*
Okay so here is what this does. I compared all the events, and I noticed that the random file is always exactly 16 standard characters, with no extension. The question mark (?) is a single alphanumeric wildcard. By wildcarding the exact size of the string, but not allowing anything with a period (. for an extension), I now have a file set that matches what I need to exclude.
Hope that helps someone with a similar oddity.

Thank you Richard!
Great response. I have similar problem. The difference is that this actually never happens - the .Net application tries to write to that default location, but it does not succeeds, because of security restrictions, but the event is actually logged.
Do you know of a way to get around this?

Auto scan files from windows folder

I am having trouble updating the iTunes library automatically? e.g. when I delete a file from my folder where all my music is stored the Library in iTunes does not do a refresh and pick up the change?
Please help because this is getting irritating because I have to keep importing the folder into iTunes.

iTunes does not have an auto-refresh or scan feature as you desire.
If you delete a music file on the PC (outside of iTunes), you will be left with a broken song reference within iTunes.
Delete both the reference and file by using iTunes.

Snow Leopard finder doesn't list all files on Windows 7 volumes

From my Macbook Pro (10.6.8), I can connect to my Mac Pro, while it is running Windows 7 in Boot Camp, in order to access the Mac Pro's 6 volumes (1 Boot Camp, 5 Mac volumes). This is using SMB via Finder's 'Connect to server…' on an Airport network.
However, Finder never displays all the files and folders on any of the Mac volumes it connects to through Windows 7. It seems to show approximately the first 18-9 files and folders, and then nothing. The same applies when I open a nested folder — it doesn't list all of its contents.
Any ideas as to what's causing this and how I can fix it? I have searched all over but can't find any answers yet, so I'm hoping someone here has seen this before.

Thanks for the reply, but I do have the Restore Windows box checked (see below). And the Resume features info (cnet link) only addresses how to turn the feature off, either selectively or globally. I'm simply looking for the functionality that I had with Snow Leopard and now seems to be absent. Maybe it's a bug in my Finder.

Making A List Of Files In A Folder

Is there a way to make a list of all the files and folders within a root folder? I have thousands of pictures of record label scans in folders by artist name. I'd like to compile a list of some sort of all the folder names and the file names. I tried doing a snapshot of the screen and/or window but it only shows what you see on the monitor not what you would normally need to scroll down to see, which is not many at all. Can anyone please help?? Thanks.

Hi sjaakad,
I second eww's thank-you for that tip! I saw eww's reply mentioning TextWrangler and having a little free time for tinkering I downloaded it and tried your suggestion:
The simplest way is to drag a folder symbol from the Finder into a new BBEdit window
That's neat stuff! I'm sure I'll find uses for this in the future....thanks again,

List all files in a folder

Hi,
I am new to Director.
I am using Director to record/save/ listen to audio files.
I want to populate a list with all the files in a given
folder.
Anyone know how to do this in Director?
Thanks

> You could use the built-in getNthFilenameInFolder()
I could have been more specific:
on mGetFileList aPath
tList = []
repeat with f = 1 to the maxInteger
tFilename = getNthFilenameInFolder(aPath, f)
if tFilename = EMPTY then exit repeat
tList.append(tFilename)
end repeat
return tList
end
And call it with:
lFiles = mGetFileList(_movie.path)
However, the above will also list folders

How to list sorted files in a folder?

I am in need of creating a java program which should perform the following.
1. Read ALL the files located under c:\main dir
2. Append the read files into a Email.log file in the order in which the files are created.
For example: main directory has three files. A.txt(created on Aug1st2009,10:00AM), B.txt(created on Aug1st2009,10:01AM),C.txt(created on Aug1st2009,10:02AM)
Email.log file should contain the contents of A.txt then B.txt then C.txt. The contents of old file should appear in the top and the content of latest file(C.txt) shouled appeared in the bottom of Email.log file.
Hope you understand my requirements. could you help me out in starting with sample code?

It is your job to write the code not ours. When you have done that and have encountered a problem then come back and ask a specific question including all the relevant information.
As far as I know there isn't anyway to determine the creation date of a File in core Java. There maybe a third party lib that can do it.
