Excerpt from file name

I need to retrieve a list of names of files in a folder in a spreadsheet. I don't want to have to type file names in the worksheet.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Redirect the output of the DIR command to a text file, and then open the file with your spreadsheet.

At the command prompt of in the folder in question:

dir /b > test.txt

Or by specifying the path location of access and exit of the folder to any location from the command prompt, for example:

dir /b C:\FolderName > %userprofile%\desktop\SomeFile.txt

will send the list of files in C:\FolderName SomeFile.txt on your desktop.  Note that the tokens of your file (security permissions) can prevent you from copying or write to or from some places in this case you must run the command at a prompt (run as administrator).

It's really very simple, but if you find it's too complicated, so search the Internet and you'll find utilities like PrintDir that can do the same or you can find a way to add to the context right click menu, but then you should perhaps install a printer on the "FILE: (print to file)" port to send content to a .txt file.

  • Get information from file name

    Hello

    I have a somewhat general question, is it possible to extract certain "elements" of a file name?

    For example: x 0 xx xxx abc 123 xxxx.avi (or any other type txt, jpg, etc...).

    Assuming that the 'abc' is constant throughout the files, but the numbers change (not sequential), can I retrieve just the "abc 123"(ou quelque nombre que ce soit)? "»

    I know how the band/build path, but here I don't know what to look for because the distance from the beginning is evolving and the numbers change.

  • File names image missing from the underside of the Photo Image

    I recently spoke with someone from Apple support and they confirmed that displaying the name of the file Image is a present feature in iPhoto, but was lost in the update photograph.  Their suggestion was to send feedback to Apple.  He said that it is the most effective way to get results and more of us than that best the chance we have to see this feature in a future update of photography.  It was my return to Apple:

    "Thank you for the update photograph... I appreciate some of the improved features that have been made for him. However, I would like to note that the absence of the names of files that appears under the image is cruelly.  I find this information very useful as I get pictures from other sources and helps determine the ownership of the photos.  Now, I'm a little lost without her.

    While the screen may look sharper and more user friendly for some, it would be good to know that this feature could be made available View (display Image File Name) option.

    Could I do that as a suggestion for your next release? »

    If you are also missing this feature, I encourage you to submit your comments to http://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html

    iPhoto has used the names of files as a default title to be displayed as thumbnails, if no title has been assigned. Photo for Mac displays only the titles under the thumbnails, if a title had been awarded. He makes a distinction between a title assigned user and a file name.

    As a workaround: in the tip section the user to change the title of a photo file name - have a look, we have posted a few Scripts from Apple:

    Photos will show the title under the thumbnails if you select the titles in the menu: view > metadata.

    An alternative workaround: you get pictures of the power.  It allows you to browse your photo library with fields of metadata under the thumbnails - keywords, titles, names of files. You can customize what you want to see in the title or subtitle.

    But I support the request for better support of metadata in the pictures.  The feedback form is here: Feedback - Photos - Apple

  • Windows install-"error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name"; After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, cannot load new software. ____

    After an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, everything on the system seemed to work properly. up to what I tried to re - install everything deleted software or install new software.  As soon as Windows Installer starts the following error message appears: "error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name.

    If this could have something to do with the new pads MSFT security permissions on folders (with padlock) during a upgrade as well as related hidden junctions by compared to the user by the system?

    I tried to install the update system of Lenovo and MSFT Windows Installer Clean Up clean in the hope that the software would help alleviate my problems. See below the link on advice from MSFT on the same error.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/%2Fkb%2F328162

    Unfortunately, I cannot even load the previously recommended THAT MSFT software to solve this error.  I also tried to install the software as 'Run as Administrator' and in 'Safe Mode '.  Even if I could not load the software recommended to MSFT, I was able to install iTunes to Apple through Apple Software Update, I guess, that they do not use Windows Installer.

    With the new structure of junction there is several files or links to the same folder across file system, if it is a folder authorization number which specific files/links are I need to remove restrictions?

    Any help would be appreciated, if not I'll have to do a clean install and individually reinstall each piece of software... Thank you.

    I think I found the solution for this point, because I have just encountered the same problem in our environment and here's what I did to solve it:

    -Create a higher level permissions at the root of the folder redirection (for example \\servername\mydocredirfolder): grant the Group authenticated users the following permissions and apply it to "this folder only" ALLOW: list folders/read data, reading, reading attributes, read extended attributes, create files / add data

    I think the MSI is trying to read the free space on the disk on the server, but it cannot because it tries to access the folder where your my documents redirection is sitting.

    Good luck!

  • How can I remove the file name of movies that I import from my camera?

    How can I remove the filename of movies that I import from my camera - the film shows the name of the file on the screen and then disappears slowly?  Using Win 7 Pro and Home premium 64-bit.   Thank you.

    Edition - shows only upward on one of the 2 computers I have / use.  Any movie file I import was that if camera, animation or imported from youtube.  All formats - slight differences in size, fonts and the location.

    Hi and thanks... Videos out of my camera I'm just drag and drop to the desktop.  They are avi - cam is a Canon about a year.  Others are .mov of 3D software I use - Cinema 4 d. I save animation software in the appropriate folder.   Youtube videos are made with YOutube Video Downloader and files are for most .flv but others come too.

    All of these files open when doubleclicked and the name of the file is very large print at the bottom of the screen may be 4 seconds then fades.  I've not edited somehow - they are the first "raw" video camera or animation software.

    It is not consistent, but especially it happens only on one machine - Win 7 Pro with all the updates.

    Thank you.

    ========================================
    I suspect the media player you use poster
    the file name. Check the properties/preferences of your
    Media player to see if you can change a setting.

    For example, VLC displays the name of the file... and you
    can go to... Tools / preferences / All / video...

    Scroll down to and uncheck 'Show Media title on Video'... / Save.

    The next time that VLC is started the video title should not be displayed.

  • Can I import words from the file name as keywords in the metadata when you import pictures?

    Hello

    My apologies if this question has already been asked. I can't find the answer: will / Lightroom can import words filename for my photos as keywords in the metadata when you import the photos from my hard drive? And if so, how can I do this?

    I'm new to Lightroom from iPhoto. After reading several articles on the transfer of photos from iPhoto, I exported some 7000 photos in an electronic file on my hard drive. I'm following the advice, sort and rename the photo files on my hard drive to be able to import them into Lightroom in an orderly fashion. It is not too difficult because iPhoto already for most changed the filenames for event names as ordered in iPhoto. I also prefer to do it manually rather than using any iPhoto / Aperture plugin because my iPhoto organization was far from perfect and I have already started to significantly improve by changing the file names.

    I'm renaming the files of images with additional information to improve the organisation even more with what would anyway keywords "DATE/NAME/NAME OF PERSON (S) IN THE EVENT PHOTO" so it would be good to not have enter these keywords in the metadata after import for each photo. It's automatic and if not is there a way to do this? All the other tips are welcome!

    Thank you

    Hi adiscerningeye,

    You can create metadata Preset and then apply this preset on import for images.

    Link partners: -.

    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Help | Shares of advanced metadata

    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 * create and apply metadata presets

    Once you create a metadata preset, you must select it during import so it will be applied on all images when importing.

    You can also type a few words under key words, so it will work like keywords for this specific to import Images.

    Let us know if it helps.

  • Select multiple files in the same folder from a list of file names

    I'm a wedding photographer.  Each marriage record is 700-1000 pictures.  When our wives to order their photos, you must select each photo to download to the printer.  I want to know if there is a way to just a list in the folder search bar which will show only the photos in the list on this issue?  I can't get it to do 1 photo at a time.

    Hello, Airborne4905!

    If I understand, you have a list of files that you want to print automatically. Well, for this, you must create a script. Below I show you a simple script.

    Now, assume that you have a d:\print.txt file that contains the names of the files in the folder in c:\users\public\pictures\sample pictures\ with a file name on each line, for example:
    Greek.jpg
    Dock.jpg
    Forest.jpg

    Then you have a file named print.vbs that contains the following script code:

    Set objShell = CreateObject ("Wscript.Shell")
    Set shell = CreateObject ("Shell.Application")
    Set objFS = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objFile = objFS.OpenTextFile ("d:\\print.txt", 1)
    strFileContents = objFile.ReadAll

    arrLines = Split (strFileContents, vbNewLine)
    For each strLine in arrLines
    strFile = "C:\\Users\\Public\\Pictures\\Sample Pictures\\" & strLine
    hull. StrFile ShellExecute' ', '', ' print '.
    objShell.Run "mspaint/p" & Chr (34) & strFile & chr (34), 0, True
    Next

    objFile.Close

    If you want to print all the files that you specified in your d:\print.txt file, you simply run the print.vbs file.

    Note:
    1. the strFile = "C:\\Users\\Public\\Pictures\\Sample Pictures\\" & strLine line contains the path to your images folder - if you need browse another folder, just edit this string (note that you must keep the double-bar reverse oblique to the reverse slash single-bar place that you normally use!).
    2. the Set objFile = objFS.OpenTextFile ("d:\\print.txt", 1) line contains the path to the file where you list the images to print. Change the path to reflect the actual path of the file.
    3. If you need a more elaborate version or some other questions about scripts, please ask questions in the Forum Microsoft Scripting Guys on http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/ITCG/threads/.

    I hope this helps!
