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.

> 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.

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

How do I print a list of files inside a portfolio?

I have been using Acrobat to make portfolios of pdf's for a short while. I would like to print a list of the files inside the portfolio. tx

A custom JavaScript to write the report:
function ProtfolioContents() {
var bResult = false;
// make sure there are data objects
if (this.dataObjects != null) {
// create report
var rep = new Report();
rep.size = 1.7;
rep.color = color.black;
// title for report
rep.writeText("Summary of files within the PDF portfolio: " + this.documentFileName + "\n");
// what is reported
rep.writeText("Format : [index] [filename] [description] [size] [MIME Type\n\n");
//get the objects
var d = this.dataObjects;
rep.indent(20);
rep.color = color.blue;
// for each item
for (var i = 0; i < d.length; i++)
// write line of report
rep.writeText(i + ": " + d[i].name + " : " + d[i].description + ' | ' + util.printf("%,0 .0f bytes", d[i].size) + ' | ' + d[i].MIMEType )

rep.color = color.black;rep.
writeText("\n -- END OF LIST --");

if( ! ProtfolioContents() ) app.alert('Must not be in PDF');

Is it possible to print a list of files bet specific dates in PSE7?

I am trying to print a list of all the photos inc the shot date so I can check I have scrapbook layouts for all the photos in 2009. I can organise the photos in date order using the thumbnail view but I can't sit there with my albums and check the layouts are in the correct order so would like a printout. Can it be done in PSE7?

You might want to look for an add-on for this.
Although Firefox has a feature to export your bookmarks to an HTML file which you could view in Firefox and copy from or print as with any other web page, it only shows the descriptive text and not the website address, so I suspect that isn't going to be very useful.
If you want to try to work with the built-in features, I suggest:
(1) Export your bookmarks to an HTML file; save it in a convenient location such as your Desktop or My Documents. This article has the steps: [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
(2) Open that HTML file in Firefox as a web page. You can double-click it (if it has a .htm or .html extension), or drag and drop the file onto an open tab, or use the menu: tap the Alt key > File menu > Open File.
(3) Locate the portion of the file you want to print, and select it. ''Do not print from Firefox because the selection printing generates needless blank pages.'' Instead, copy the selected bookmarks and paste into a blank word processing document or new email message to yourself. Then you can print from there.

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.

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.

Is there a way to print (or copy/paste) a list of files I have in a folder?

I have 42 pics in a folder, each with it's own file name. Is there any way I can print the list of files in the folder to be able to send just the file names via email?
(I just want to let someone know what I have, not actually send them the phyical file)
Thanks!

Select them all, choose Copy from the Edit menu, paste into a location which only allows plain text, copy that text, and put it into the email.

Printing Finder List of Folders

I'm fairly new to mac and loving it. But how can I print a list of files in a folder from Finder?
Thanks

hi Nick,
PrintWindow: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12161
there's also a way involving setting up a printer, and dragging the enclosing folder onto the printer icon, but that output is a bit ugly...
one can also use Terminal to easily make a plain text file containing the directory listing, which can be opened/edited/printed from any word processing program...
cheers

How do I print a list of sent files for the year?

How do I print a list of sent files for this year?

Hi lasersrq,
What a great question! There is no functionality that allows you to print a list the files you've sent via Adobe Send (or SendNow).
Please feel free to submit a feature request--it's a good idea! https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en
Best,
