| Tip 110 | Quickly Create a List of Files |
Need to quickly create a text list of files and folders contained within a directory? Open the directory in Finder and select all (Command+A); then copy to the clipboard (Command+C). Then open TextEdit, switch to plain-text mode (Format→Make Plain Text, or Shift+Command+T), and hit Command+V to paste. Don’t worry—you won’t paste the actual files into the document.
