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.
