This command won’t show any output on the screen like this, but it will have created a new file called list.txt, which will contain the full list of all files and folders in the directory. Since list.txt doesn’t yet exist, the computer will create a new empty file and print your info into it. In this command “dir” is an instruction to print a DIRectory listing, “>” is an instruction to send the output from the left side to the right side, in this case, the output is sent to a file called “list.txt”. They could be malicious and harm your computer if you’re not careful. Tip: You should never just execute commands in this PowerShell window without properly understanding what they do. This will display a list of files and folders in the directory, to print the result to a text file you need to edit the command to point the output to a file, the command you need to do that is: “dir > list.txt”. In the PowerShell window that will open, type “dir”. On some computers “PowerShell” may be replaced with “Command” – it still works exactly the same though. Press and hold shift as you right-click and a previously hidden option in the menu will allow you to “Open PowerShell window here”. To do this, open File Explorer and navigate to the folder you want to print a directory listing for. Sometimes you may want to print a list of everything that you have in a directory rather than the actual files themselves – a comprehensive list of everything in a folder. For example, it will work for a group of images even if they are a mix of JPEG and PNG but it won’t work for images and word documents, like DOCX and TIFF at the same time. Tip: This technique only works for similar file types. Subdirectory is a directory inside the root directory, in turn, it can have another sub-directory in it. The directory is a place/area/location where a set of the file (s) will be stored.
Select multiple documents and print all of them Our task is to create a C program to list all files and sub-directories in a directory. You can also use ls with grep, and use grep ‘s pattern matching capabilities. When you’ve done that, you can then right-click and print all of them at once. To list any files or directories that have names starting with ip use this format: ls ip. If you select multiple files by holding the Ctrl button and clicking them all, you can mark multiple files. You can use any of the flags discussed before like -la the key point here is that the result will be outputted into a file and not logged to the command line. Type the ls > output.txt command to print the output of the preceding command into an output.txt file. You can, however, add multiple files to your print queue in one go. List files and output the result to a file. Here, right-clicking offers a menu option to print files without necessarily having to open them – by default, this only applies to the single file you’ve right-clicked on. In order to do this, all of the files you want to print need to be in the same folder.
