Print files list using DOS

Description

Sometimes we want to print the list of files in a directory. Example: Print the songs list in a CD/DVD.
 
In DOS, using DIR command(with additional parameters), we can achieve this thing.

Syntax

To print the files list:

dir /b > prn

To save the list as a file:

dir /b > filename.txt

dir - Command
/b - Parameter. For bare format (Displays only file names. No heading information or summary).

Output

Now I'm executing this command in C Drive (on my system):

C:\> dir /b > CDriveFiles.txt

Now open the file CDriveFiles.txt to view the contents:

AUTOEXEC.BAT
CONFIG.SYS
Documents and Settings
Intel
Program Files
WINDOWS

Using other parameters of DIR command, you can change the output.
