Filenames Extractor on Windows

Author : Anas Shakeel

Description:

Filenames Extractor on Windows is a program that allows users to extract all files and folder names and paths in a .txt file.
Users can give a directory or multiple directories (not yet implemented) and wait for a few seconds and there they go! a text file full with names and paths of all files and folders in those directories.

Usage / Installation

1. Install Python 3.x
2. Download the code from github to your local machine (PC / Laptop).
3. Extract the .zip file
4. Run the program simply by double-clicking filenames_extractor.py in file explorer (recommended) or by executing python filenames_extractor.py in the terminal or command prompt.

How to use:

After running the program, you should see a terminal popping up displaying something like this

Enter a directory (ctrl+c to exit):

Now head to the directory from where you want to extract data from and copy it's location (directory path) and paste it in the terminal.

Enter a directory (ctrl+c to exit): F:\My Files\Wallpapers

Press enter and a message like this should appear

Enter a directory (ctrl+c to exit): F:\My Files\Wallpapers

Extracted data in: F - 'Wallpapers' Files List.txt

A .txt file should pop up in the folder from where you ran the program.

Open the .txt file and there you go!

You can even extract whole partitions by just entering the address.

Told you! Simple but powerful.
