Print a list of folder names

[davemchine]

I copy into bbedit which turns it into plain text. I’m told there is a key combination to paste plain text and skip this step but I’ve never gotten it to work.

Shift + Command + V

Mac OS X:

You can use Shift + Command + V to paste without formatting (or with whatever format the pasted text is placed into).
Using TextEdit (the Mac equivalent to Notepad), you can copy and paste text as in the first method outlined above. You may need to choose Format > Make Plain Text (Command + Shift + T). To leave formatting out by default, go to Preferences > Format and select Plain Text.

I’m able to copy a list of folders into Word using these steps:

1. In the Finder, Select all folders, Command C and then Command V into an Excel spreadsheet.
2. In Excel, Select all contents and then, Command C and then Command V into an TextEdit Document.
3. In Text Edit Select all contents, Choose “Make Plain Text” from the Formatting window.
4. In Text Edit Command C and then Command V into a Word document.

I’d love to know a simpler way to do this.

Skip Excel.

In TextEdit, make sure that your new document is displaying in "plain text."

Then paste directly into TextEdit.

Then, skip MS Word.

(Why do you need it in Word? You already have the list in a text document.)

In the Finder window list show "Kind" and then sort by that. Highlight all the folders and copy (cmd-c). Open MS Word document and do a paste special from the edit menu as plain text.

Good solution! Not that I have any need for this, but that should do the trick.
