Wow! Perfect! Thanks to everyone! I used: (in the directory I need output from) ls -1 > /home/EJ/Directory/CurrentList.txt That text should now drop into an XL doc or something, from where we can print it. Beautiful. Thanks guys!

list filenames within directory > output to text file?
by E Johnson May 8, 2012

May 8, 2012

Is there an app or command line tool which can copy all filenames within a certain directory, and output these filenames to a plain-text file? I need to list about 400 filenames, then drop these into an xl doc, in order to sort. Don't need to know permissions or anything else. I think sort might do it < http://ss64.com/bash/sort.html >, but probably I need help creating a command that will list only the file names, which I can then copy/paste to an xl doc. I am running Debian. I have one Squeeze and one Lenny here. Thanks extremely, Liz J

Re: [Wlug] Invitation to connect on LinkedIn
by Aljerin Butler,Jr. April 3, 2012

April 3, 2012

Hello all, This is a LinkedIn issue. I selected several people to connect to and LinkedIn "sneaked in" the rest of my address book contacts. On the original invitation presented by LinkedIn, I assumed that the half dozen or so contacts I saw were all there was. I didn't notice if there were any additional pages from which to select contacts ("Next" button).

Hey Everybody, At the last meeting, there was some talk about ZFS... Would people be interested in me doing a talk about ZFS? Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Using Meetup
by Henrique March 22, 2012

March 22, 2012

Hey, Yesterday I was browsing around Meetup.com, and found another group called Worcester Web Technology <http://www.meetup.com/Worcester-Web-Technology/>, and they are also meeting at WPI, apparently on the third Thursday of every month. (today) I recommend WLUG also create a meetup group for attracting new members. Also Meetup is nice for sending out reminder emails about the meetings on the day before. Cheers, Henrique "nican" Polido.
