To create a text file that lists the contents of a folder and its subfolders, you can use the command line. On Windows, open Command Prompt and use the command dir "C:\path\to\folder" /s > output.txt, replacing the path with your target folder. On macOS or Linux, use the Terminal and run ls -R /path/to/folder > output.txt. This will generate a file named output.txt containing the directory structure and contents.
The PATH environment variable is the default search path(s) for when an explicit path is not provided and the file requested is not in the current directory.
ls /this/dir/path > dirfile
