View Full Version : Create date directory

I need to get a text file listing of file names and creation dates for a
folder.
Basically, I want to be able to do something like DIR > X.TXT but have the
dates be the creation dates rather than the modified dates.
I find that I can open the folder and, after selecting Views -> Details, I
can then select Views -> Choose Columns and get what I want, but I can't
find any way, from there, to get a text file of the resultant listing. I
thought I remembered a way to print these things (other than by graphics
capture and printing that), but after looking around, I'm guessing it wasn't
Windows I'm remembering it from.
Any ideas?

Easy with freeware (personal use) file manager called TrackerV3 (now up to
version 4). View ->Show Columns. Select files or folders you require, right
click, Info to Clipboard ->Selected Rows. Paste from clipboard into your
favourite text program.
www.trackerv3.com
A very versatile, multi-tabbed file manager. I have been using it for a
couple of years and still find treasures.

I'd hoped I'd overlooked a way to do it with standard utilities.
But this looks like it'll do the job.
Thanks.
