Is it possible to print a disk directory to a disk file? I want to add annotations and to collect all disk directories into a master file. ============================================================================ ===== Louie Crew: lcrew@andromeda.rutgers.edu ==== ===== CompuServe No. 73517,147.

I'm sorry I don't know who makes it or where you can get it... perhaps another net.person can help out? --K -- ........................................................................... : Kathy Strong : "Try our Hubble-Rita: just one shot, : : (Clouds moving slowly) : and everything's blurry" : : clouds@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu : --El Arroyo : :..........................................................................:

In addition to the one Kathy Cloud mentioned, there are a couple of programs that do this sort of thing. One is called Cat.Mac that I found through the BMUG library of shareware. Another possibility is the Commercial program Vantage (which does a slew of other neat things too!) that comes with a macro or x-command type thing that will list files. And a third is the program called FileList (that I think I will make my regular disk list program) that can be obtained by anonymous ftp from sumex-aim (and probably from other shareware sources too). -- Dana E.

The first is to do 'Print Directory...' from Finder to a LaserWriter, but hold down command-F (I _think_ that's what it is, I'm not sure). This will print to a file instead of to the printer. However, since it's PostScript, I'm not sure if you could extract the text from it easily. The second (and easier) method is to use a little utility called FileList. This will put the entire directory of all the files on your disc into a text file, including pathnames, file Type, Creator, size and all the rest. You can use the Pathname to filter out a _particular_ directory, and sort by whatever. Juggling of the data is, I think, best done in FileMaker or Excel or something like that. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | David Graham | | JF Comp Sci, Trinity College, Dublin. | | | | Internet: dagraham@vax1.tcd.ie | | | | Glanmire Electronics Ltd., AppleLink: DUB.GE.RES | | * My employer has nothing to do with anything I may say* | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
