I am looking for a program that scans through a certain folder, and saves all of the files names (without file extension) into a text document? anyone know of anything like this?

Winkey + R
cmd
cd <folder>
dir /b > C:\Output.txt

Includes file extentions, but those are simple enough to remove

Any way to do it without file extensions because i want to do this for like 300 files

EDIT: and when i try and do that, i get: access is denied, even though i am the only admin on this computer

If you are using vista, save to the C:\Users\YourUserName location or run cmd as an administrator.

There is probably an easier way using some kind of posix features, but I'm not that smart. So, here's some Python.

import os
output = open("output.txt",'a')
filenames = os.listdir("C:\\directory\\you\\want\\to\\list\\")
for file in filenames:
    output.write(file.split(".")[0] + "\r\n")
output.close()

just a first order approximation of course, I mean, this is not going to be that grand for files with more than one period in them. But, it will do for a measly 300 files.

Thanks guys, also, once ive removed the extensions, i get some duplicate files, anyone know whow to automatically delete these duplicates??
EDIT: cant see to get that python code to work, so any other ways od doing it?
Or if anyone feels up to it, they can edit the attachment and delete the file extenions and duplicates

Here, file extensions and duplicates removed.

Note: Some of the files had more than one extension, but I only removed the last one.

Yay thanks WDZ
