Hi 321,

first tiny little help is "DIR2HTML".

You will get name and size as a *.html file -> then you can copy it to Excel...

Or even without programs just:
use your command prompt
( start-> exec... ->%compec% <enter> )
go in the folder you have drawings
cd \(name of the folder)

and execute
dir *.dwg /ogn>>c:\list.txt

a file called c:\list.txt will be created with the list of your .dwg files sorted by name.
Of couse you can use any dir options like /s if you need subfolders too or /ogs if need to order by size.

Good luck.

Here is the best freware app I have found to solve your problems. It is called myorganizer!

Just select the path to the drawings, and you can even add comments to your dwg files. Has a nice export feature to export dwg names, dates, comments etc to a tab delimited file that can be imported into excel

Try Karens directory printer

http://www.karenware.com

. She makes a number of usefull (free) utilities. Directory printer will output to a printer or a txt file. Numerous options as to sorting, tree depth etc. Well worth trying

Copy the following text to a file named &quot;FILE-DIR.BAT&quot;

dir > dir.txt


Now save the one line in that file.
Now copy that file to whatever directory you want to make a list of ... and double click on it ... through WINDOWS.

Give it a couple of seconds.

A text file should appear at the bottom. (dir.txt)

Import that into Excel.

See if that works for your purposes.
Let me know.

Thanks everybody
It help me a lot

Very nice the rKeyTec idea!
I have just a small improvement, create the file with:
dir %1 %2 %3>dir.txt

so you'll can use 3 dir tags if you need. Like *.dgw /b /ong o whatever.

And throw in a &quot;|sort&quot; to pre-sort the list

Melko, I got the exact same results with your idea as I did with rKeyTek's. How is the dir.txt output supposed to be different?

Thanks guys (Melko & CADaver)!

And I figured someone would add those modifiers to the BATCH file.

And Flores ....
The difference between Melko & mine is the BATCH file.
The Drag/ drop & Double click associated to the BATCH file ... makes it &quot;windows&quot; friendly.

But really ... Melko had the right idea.
I just added the BATCH file spin.
And Melko & CADaver added the DOS modifiers which are nice!

stars for everyone.
