Title: Export only the filename
Post by: sinus on April 07, 2018, 11:59:16 AM
Hello, everybody,
It's Saturday and from time to time you can ask yourself a silly question, I think.
I now have about 260,000 files.

Now I just want to have all file names, but so that I can print them out. This can be a pdf, a doc, a txt or whatever you can print.

What is the easiest way to do this?

Your question is not clear. With "file name" do you mean file name (with path), the file name (name of the file with extension), or the file name (name of the file without extension)?

Anyway, you can use the text Export in the Import & Export Panel.
Or the Copy Data App.
if you want the fully qualified file name with path, you can just select the files and press Ctrl+C.

Thanks, Mario.
I must only have the filename with extension, no path.
I will then try the Export in the Import & Export panel.

The only "fear" I had, to select and let drop 260.000 files.  8)
But I will try this..

(with VB I had a script for this, bygones).

The export-modul worked fine (and fast).
Thanks!
