Re: Editable List of Filenames from Windows?

Oh my stars, that worked! 



Previously didn't get the bit about the greater than symbol.

Thank you, and happy Friday.

Add this after any command to route the output into a text file: 

> c:\<some directory>\<some filename>.txt 

E.g.: 

tree > c:\treeout.txt
