    Copying your files into a word format help!!!

    I've found an old harddrive and looked into it and found loads (and I mean loads) of tunes which (strangely to me) I had sorted into years, which are 92,93 and 94.
    Now instead of searching the forum to see if these tunes have been upped and posted, is there any way I can put them into a word format to copy and paste onto here for people to look through and if people like anything then I can upload.
    Please help me on this.
    Cheers

    type out your list in word, make sure the hole page is visible on your screen & then press Alt & PRTSC (at the same time). Open paint, then press CTRL & V (at the same time). Now save the image & upload on here just like you would any other picture. There may be other ways of doing it but that's how I'd do it.

    BTW what OS are you using?

    Or alternatively do the same as above but have the actual files visible on screen instead of typing them all out on word. You may have to do it a few times (I'm assuming that there's too many for tham all to be displayed at once) but it's gotta be quicker than typing them all out

    You want to export a file list to a text document (<<<<< google that phrase)
    Here's a way to do it via a dos prompt
    How to create a text file list of the contents of a folder

    How to Create a File List at a Command Prompt
    Click Start, point to Programs, and then click MS-DOS Prompt (or Command Prompt in Windows NT).
    At a command prompt, locate the drive that contains the folder whose contents you want to list. For example, if you want to create a text file that contains a list of the contents of a folder on drive C, type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:
    c:
    At a command prompt, locate the folder whose contents you want to list. For example, if you want to create a text file that contains a list of the contents in the Windows folder on drive C, type the following commands at a command prompt, and press ENTER after you type each command:
    cd\
    cd windows
    Type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER, where filename is the name of the text file that you are creating:
    dir > filename.txt
    For example, if you want to create a file named Windowsfolderlist.txt, type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:
    dir > windowsfolderlist.txt
    NOTE: The text file that you create is located in the folder that you are in when you follow these steps. In the earlier example, the Windowsfolderlist.txt file is located in the Windows folder.
    Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to view or print this file.
    NOTE: You cannot export or print a list of the files that are contained in a folder in Windows Explorer.

    Download Mp3 List.rar from Sendspace.com - send big files the easy way

    Download, extract the .bat file to the drive where the files are.
    Double click & you'll end up with a text file on your C: called :

    list.txt

    It'll list all mp3 files & the directories they're in.

    ** Make sure the file goes into the root, or the main folder that the mp3s are in - it'll only look for files within that folder (and subfolders) - not anywhere else **

    That's basically what my uploaded .bat file does, so you don't have to muck around typing everything in .
    (But mine also includes subfolders & neatens the file up a bit )
