If you can answer this for me I will be indebted to you!!!

[Michele]

I work for a University and my professional has just given me a screen shot
of a list of long files...several hundered of them, all file names with
underscores galore and numbers. Very tedious typing assignment.
It came to me as a long image file.

So, I tried to see if I could go into any file on my computer, and copy the
text list...but it appears I cannot. I also unintentionally copy the data
behind the list...the actual content, which I don't want. I've been asked to
create a list in Excel so all I need is to reproduce these file names.

Is there an easier way or am I in for a long afternoon?

If you can access that directory............download ASAP Utilities add-in
for Excel. There is a built-in function that you can use to point to a
specific directory and it will create a list in Excel, hyperlinked to the
files if you want. It's awesome for so many reasons and that's a major one!

It's under Favorites & Shortcuts, #6. It'll take a few moments and you're
done. Leave early for the day. ;-)

 

[Michele]

I am going to have to buy you lunch!! One question...the files are on my
professional's computer so I would have to download ASAP there? Where exactly
is this download located...#6?

Thanks!

I'm not a big lobster eater but I do like crabs and shrimp.

They do make medicine for that.

If installing an app is a non-starter, you can always open a command prompt,
change to the folder where the files are located then do:

DIR /B > FILELIST.TXT

That'll give you a list of all the files in the folder, stored in FILELIST.TXT

Open that in notepad and paste into Excel, or bring it directly into Excel (open
as tab delimted text or the like)

I am going to have to buy you lunch!! One question...the files are on my

Got a really good friend that is the Patient Advocate at Beebe Hospital and
my wife was born in Lewes. Small world isn't it. From the mid-Eastern
Shore of Maryland. Keep this up and we are going to have to get a DelMarVA
peninsula Microsoft newsgroup meet.
