You fire up Terminal.app, and then do 'ls -1 <directory name>' (that's the number '1', not lowercase L) in order to get a nice one-per-line list of filenames. If the list is too long to fit on a terminal, do this: ls -1 ~/"somedirectory" > ~/Desktop/files.txt This will put the file list into a file on your desktop named 'files.txt'. '~' means your home directory; so, for example, you to get a listing of the directory 'Customers List' in your Documents folder, you would do: ls -1 ~/"Documents/Customers List" > ~/Desktop/files.txt The quotes are only needed if your directory name contains certain characters, like a blank space. Otherwise, you don't have to use them. -- | Victor Danilchenko | Students nowadays, complaining they only get | | danilche at cs.umass.edu | 10MBs of disk space!
