Thanks for the h/up on JR dirprint-a neat little app(especially for a DOS illiterate like me-if it would only print to .rtf or .doc!-dreaming on & on..)
Nice site also :-)

Its a useful GUI but I dont think its worth the hassle. Linux users can just type in the terminal:
ls -R | grep -v “/$” > list.txt

try this from the command line

TREE [drive:][path] [/F] [/A] > [output path]

/F Display the names of the files in each folder.
/A Use ASCII instead of extended characters.

Example: TREE c:\ /F /A > c:fileList.txt

Mac/Linux/BSD/Solaris users:
ls -FR | grep -v “/$” > files.txt

Well, for those of you who like to use the command prompt once in a while:

navigate to the desired folder and type:

Dir *.* > desiredfilename.txt

You can also add these switches after the wildcard:
/S Recurse sub-directories
/W Use Wide list format

And if you want to append content at the end of an already existing text file, replace the > with >>

Ex: dir *.* /S /W >> mydir.txt

This would list All files, folders and sub-folders within a location, format the output in “Wide” format and append it to a file named mydir.txt

Enjoy :)
