I have what's hopefully an easy request. Essentially I'd be interested in a program that dumps the directory listing of a dvd/cd that's in my dvd drive to something that I can use in excel or a text file. Although I'm not sure how well the information could be organized in excel. To explain it a bit better, I was wanting to catalogue all my DVD's. Writing all the tv shows, artists, and files that are on the surface of the disc is a pain in the rear end and unsightly. I'd rather just assign it a number, such as DVD 32, then open up a catalogue on my computer to find out what's on it. Also I'd be able to search through the catalogue to find what I want, rather than sticking in a bunch of DVD's to find out what I want. Assuming it's a text file, It would output the txt file to be "DVD/CD ##.txt", depending on whether it's a CD or DVD, and a number of my choosing I guess. Then it would scan the contents and list them in some sort of format. IE: DVD/CD ## SUMMARY: xx files total/yy MB total [MP3S] -somerandomfile.txt 1kb -[ARTIST] --files1.mp3 3mb --files2.mp3 4mb -[DUCKS] --ilikeducks.jpg 102kb The formatting isn't very concrete, but it's an idea. As long as it's legible. blahz fucked around with this message at 12:47 on Apr 20, 2007 |

Revelations posted:You're awesome, thanks. Now I can stroke my ego when people download my code! Hey Relevations, I messed around with the program and I just had one problem. It doesn't seem to be doing any sort of linebreaking, so the output is kind of scrunched together. Besides that, the formatting seems perfect and it works great! Thanks

Revelations posted:This is kinda interesting. I'm using the \n character for linebreaks, which I believe is translated differently with different text editors/OSes. I thought that using this character would sort it automatically... I wonder if this is because I compiled it on a Linux box? Sorry for the late reply, and yeah it seems to work fine in Word and Wordpad. Strange that it wouldn't work well in Notepad. Oh well, it works perfectly though, and just what I was looking for. Thanks a bunch!
