Listing folder names #2 - comp.sys.acorn.misc

Is there an app from which I can print the directory structure within a folder? I want a list of the (mp3 versions of) cd names associated with each of their composers within my 'Classics' folder so I don't buy a cd I've already got at home. -- BW Chris F.

Select the filenames, in the filer window, then shift-drag the selection into an open StrongED window. You now have the complete paths of all the files which can be edited as you see fit. Tony

Each composer has 3 symphonies, each symphony is in its own folder. So, I'm looking for a list of 29 folders. -- BW Chris F.

Open a folder so that you can see an mp3 file. Select its filename and shift-drag it to the StrongED window (pause slightly after clicking, before you commence the drag, otherwise it won't work). You'd need to do this 21 (29?) times. Maybe too tedious? I'd assumed that all the mp3s were in the same folder. Tony

Using the !coreutils ls command, if you use 'Set Directory' in the uppermost directory required you can use ls -R @ in a taskwindow. ls -R @ > myfile will write the output to @.myfile There are a few further options (ls --help) but you wont get RISC OS filetypes displayed. !coreutils is available from www.riscos.info, drop the ls binary in !Boot:Library, Utilities, CSD or somewhere that the System will find it. Note that some of the !coreutils conflict with RISC OS Commands with the same name, and require renaming. For example (the handy) Unix cat needs renaming to Kat or concat. echo is another one, though I haven't found a use for it yet. Ron M.

ETree at http://mdfs.net/System/Library (settype it to BASIC to run on RISC OS) *ETree -? gives a syntax summary. I don't seem to have uploaded any documentation for it anywhere, other than at http://mdfs.net/Docs/Books/HADFSMan/Chap5.htm *ETree -list <starting directory> gives a list similar to: <startdir>.ARMCoPro.Modules.Build <startdir>.ARMCoPro.Modules.Main <startdir>.ARMCoPro.Modules.Source <startdir>.Demos.Talk1 <startdir>.Demos.Talk1 <startdir>.Demos.Talk2 <startdir>.Demos.TalkInfo <startdir>.TextWeb.!Help <startdir>.TextWeb.Startup JGH

I'm suprised that there doesn't seem to be a straight forward 'single click' method. (Also see my reply to Dave Symes.) ..... but thanks. -- BW Chris F.
