This tutorial will be very useful for several users here who got troubles with logs , or any type of duplicated shit!

It’s very, very easy in the Windows Command-Line Interpreter (all Windows OSes):

- Open a command prompt (Start → Run → cmd Enter) must run as administrator
- Navigate folder where you save txt files.
- Enter dir \> name.txt After that type dir \> C:\dir.txt and press Enter.

**Enjoy!**

If you just want the names, then you can use the below `Powershell` command

```auto
ls | ForEach {$_.Name}

```
