Hi everyone, sorry if this is in the wrong place. Ok my question is in terminal I want to list the content of a folder so that I can copy the names of the files into a text doc.


How do I do this,

Thanks in advance for all of your help

just type ls once you are in the folder you want a listing of

*note: to change the folder you are in just type cd foldername Example: when you open a terminal window it defaults to your home directory. Type cd Library to change to your Library folder. Type ls and you'll get a listing of the contents of the Library. Easy

You can also ad "> ~/Desktop/filename.txt" at the end of the "ls" comand so that a text file is automatically created containing the file names in the directory. So the command would be as follows:

ls > ~/Desktop/filename.txt
