[Hidden-tech] Printing a folder directory

[Matt Lampiasi]

yes you can ls to a file

ls > output.txt

then you can open and print this text file.

you might be able to ls right to the printer or network printer queue 
but i don't know how to do that offhand. checkout parameters to ls. you 
can specify whether to include subdirectories or not,  etc..

I would love to cut and paste the file names as a batch into a Word document or an Excel spread sheet, but I have not found a method to do so.   I end up cutting and pasting the file names one by one.   I use Mac OS 10.3.9.    Does anyone have a tip for this function?   I have done screen shots of the folder directory, but these are bitmaps and are not manipulatable.   I would be curious if batch-copying the list of files in a folder can be done on either a Mac or a PC.   Thanks
