************************* *Ed Hammond *hamham@harborside.com ************************* A program that will print the contents of selected directories using wild cards. This is original material created by me; it is freeware, and freely distributable. ******************************************************* Program Instructions ******************************************************* Table of Contents 1. General 2. Menu 3. Print Criteria Box 4. Selected Drive and Directory ------------------------------------------------------- 1. General Select the drive and directory you wish printed. Click Tool Box and Print Directory in the menu. This will print all the file names in the selected directory. ------------------------------------------------------- 2. Menu - File - Exit This menu item ends the program. - Tool Box - Print Directory This menu item will run the print routine and will print the file names in the selected directory. Note: The print process may take a few minutes to complete. The list of names this program creates is sent to Windows 95 print buffer and then to the printer. So there is a small time lag between program printing done and actual printer printing. - Help -Help This menu item will call this file. ------------------------------------------------------- 3. Print Criteria Box If you wish only specific files printed use the Print Criteria Box. This box has full wild card capabilities. Use it as you would any other text box to reduce the list to the specific names you wish printed. Change the first asterisk (star) to a name or a partial name with a asterisk (star) and all files with that name will appear in the file list box. To print all file names with a specific extention change the second asterisk (star) to the extention you want printed. The file list box will change to list only files with that extention. ------------------------------------------------------- 4. Selected Drive and Directory To select a directory to print use the drive and directory list boxes. These boxes work like any Windows 95 drive and directory selection boxes. ******************************************************* Program History Written with VB4-32 - Win95 compatible - It may run in Win 3x 1.0.0 May 5, 1998 I created this program to print the files in any folder.
