How to Copy Multiple Files/Folder Names to Notepad file in bulk

I just wanted to send the list of file names which were in my folder to a friend but as the file list was massive – I was not able to write down the name of the file everytime on my notepad file.

For this reason I had to search the whole Internet for a easy method to copy all the file names easily. But there were methods like using cmd from run and creating a text file of all items in the directory, opening Excel and then browsing to the folder. Surely, this isn’t tough but here is another simple solution with much more advanced option for copying names very easily which I assume can help you as well.

    Along with reveal codes and the table function, this is more proof that WordPerfect is superior to Word. This function has been available for several generations.

    Thanks majju!!!! Quick question, is there a way to delete the extensions at the end of the file name (i.e .doc, .exe, .xls)? That would be awesome! Thanks!

    create a bat file in the folder u want list
    for eg: if u want to take the list of a folder called
    test than go to the folder test and inside the folder test create a bat files called test
    Than in the bat file type dir /b >list.txt and save than double click. It will automatically generate the name..

    Note: To create a bat file
    1. Click Start
    2. Click Run
    3. Type: notepad and press enter.
    After that in the notepad u write what ever u want to write in the bat files.. to generate automatic list type dir /b >list.txt
    4.Go to File, Click Save as And save it as test.bat
    5. Thats done so double click the bat file..

    Enjoy!!!
