This is THE best tutorial I ever saw. I can't thank you enough! I had thousands of files I needed to list and this way was the easiest, the fastest, and the best I've ever tried. A million Thanks!
I have been trying several methods noted online to do this and I must say that this is by FAR the best way and the best-explained way I've found - EXCELLENT! Thank you so much for sharing.
I watched other videos before I found yours. Yours was short and sweet! I totally understood everything and was able to use it right away. Thanks SO much!
Thank you so much, Matt, for solving my problem of printing genealogy file names (most are photo's or scans.) I couldn't figure out how to print the list without the images. This is by far the easiest answer I have found.....and it works!! Thank you again!!
Thank you Matt - tried following instructions in other videos; yours was the only one that was useful and informative, and most importantly understandable - extremely helpful. You did a great job.
This is better. (This mode save folders and subfolders) 1. Open CMD 2. Go to the folder you want to save. 3. write dir /a /s /b > File_Name.CSV /a Show all files /s Include all subfolders. /b Bare format
instead of going to data, you could just copy everything on the path except the file name, select the column ctrl+f to replace the path with nothing & it will erase the extra stuff in the column except the file name. may be faster for you.
Great tip Matt, Just some additions Quick tip-1: Instead splitting the data into columns, copy the filepath from the Windows Explorer and use replace in Excel for the list of file paths and simply replace using Ctrl+H (replace) and you will save a little more time sorting the data. Quick tip-2: You may as well use simply Shift + right click on your mouse to access "Copy as path" option. Quick tip-3: you can create a renamer.xls excel file for yourselves with REN Dos script Or can create a DOS script batch file that can change file names as it has been run each time. Scripts are available on internet for better automation. I often rename 100+ files weekly during my research and work Thank you so much
Thank you! Really needed this, as I had an Excel list of 104 positions, yet only 102 files to cut out detail layouts. So I could either go through the list checking each position to find those two missing numbers or... Worked perfectly!
Six years later and this still works. Bravo! Helped me a lot.
This is the easiest of all the solutions (many very convoluted!) on RUclips.
Thanks, Matt!

Awesome Matt. You made it quick and simple. Don't get that too often!!!! Thanks....
Thank you so much. All the other instructions were complicated and I couldn't get the paths right. This one worked like a charm.
Bruh... no registry or cmd rubbish, this was so easy. Thank you!
This is better. (This mode save folders and subfolders)
1. Open CMD
2. Go to the folder you want to save.
3. write dir /a /s /b > File_Name.CSV
/a Show all files
/s Include all subfolders.
/b Bare format
instead of going to data, you could just copy everything on the path except the file name, select the column ctrl+f to replace the path with nothing & it will erase the extra stuff in the column except the file name. may be faster for you.
Thank you both. The ctrl+f idea was must faster for larger separate folders.
How can you copy everything on the path except the filename for multiple files? Have I missed something?
Thanks...I worked it out
