Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11146 | Ouch! I should learn to read more carefully... I thought you wanted to print the contents of all files in one directory ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 607 | Okay, I found a relatively easy way to do it... Just type dir "c:whatever">whatever.txt and that creates a .txt file with everything I need. Not exactly what you had in mind, but thanks for putting me on the right track anyway Mr C. ----- "One Very Important Thought" |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 964 | I use a tool called Directory Lister for this purpose. In fact, I've use it only once, but it worked fine. It's freely available at http://freeware.prv.pl. |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 607 | Sounds neat. Even though I'm sure I'm not going to pull that off, I could try it. Maybe my question wasn't so stupid after all. Meanwhile, if anyone knows an easier way, you're very welcome to share it. ----- "One Very Important Thought" |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11146 | That's where my knowledge ends, sorry But yes, that is my basic idea: Find out the command to send stuff to the printer, write a batch file which reads file names from a directory and sends them to the printer with said command one by one. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 607 | You mean use the command line? Fine, but which command is it that I need? ----- "One Very Important Thought" |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 607 | First of all, I'm not all too sure where I should post this, so feel free to move it if you think it's necessary. My question is the following: What is the quickest/easiest way to print a list of all files in a directory? Call me stupid but I have no idea. For the sake of completeness I'll add that I'm using Windows XP, in case that matters. ----- "One Very Important Thought" |
