Filenames & modified dates - listing as text

Post by Horse »

In Windows File Explorer

I have three sets of about 190 files

Is there an easy way of creating a text list, to go into a simple spreadsheet, listing each filename with its 'date modified'?

This is so i can eventually list all three sets as six parallel columns on the same spreadsheet.

Cheers :)

from the command prompt 'dir > list.txt'

EDIT:

You need to CD to the right directory first of course, but everyone knows how to use the CLI!

Files so old they have imperial threads?

Sorry for the pointless derail, but not sorry enough not to post it.

No worries.

I've given up on it. Could output as a list, but only either filenames or as individual lines each filenames and time. Not going to manually edit that lot.
