=User Steps=
These steps can be followed to output a printout of all files contained within a folder:
<ol>
<li> Open the console window 
<li> If necessary, change the drive location (for example, to change from the C drive to the D drive use the syntax: '''<tt>D:</tt>''' then press Enter) 
<li> Change directory to the folder location where you would like to write a list of the files contained within it (example syntax: '''<tt>cd D:\Example\TUFLOW\model\grid</tt>''' then press Enter) 
<li> Write a text file listing the folder contents using the following syntax: '''<tt>dir > filename.txt</tt>''' 
You can add a file extension to the syntax if you would like to restrict the list to files of a particular type. For example '''<tt>dir *.asc > filename.txt</tt>''' 
</ol>
A text file called '''<tt>filename.txt</tt>''' will be written to the folder you are working in. The file names are listed in the right-hand column.

=Example Application - Stitching ALS Data Tiles Together =
The above mentioned folder contents file may be useful during TUFLOW modelling if ALS topography data has been provided in tile format for a catchment. In some situations over 500 *.asc files may make up a complete study area. Rather than stitching the data into a single topography dataset using GIS software, data layering within the TGC can be used to read each source *.asc ALS tile into the TUFLOW flood model. The column edit mode in [[NotepadPlusPlus_Tips | Notepad++]] and [[UltraEdit_Tips | UltraEdit]] make this update a simple exercise that takes minutes (rather than the onerous alternative of manually typing each command reference line one after another into the TGC). 

<ol>
<li> Open '''<tt>filename.txt</tt>''' in [[NotepadPlusPlus_Tips | Notepad++]] or [[UltraEdit_Tips | UltraEdit]]. 
<li> Turn on column edit mode. 
* In Notepad++ hold in '''<tt>Alt</tt>''' prior to and during a selection 
* In UltraEdit hold in '''<tt>Alt+C</tt>''' prior to making a selection 
<li> Select and copy the .asc or .flt file names. 
[[File:DOS File List 004.PNG|500px]] 
<li> Open the TUFLOW Geometry Control (TGC) file. Set the global model elevation to a value that is above all expected elevations with the topography dataset. The command is: 
<tt>Set Zpts </tt> <tt>== </tt> <tt><value></tt> 
We recommend using this value to check for any missing data or gaps between the ALS tiles after running the TUFLOW model for the first time. 
<li> Paste the .asc file name list into the TGC file below the <tt>Set Zpts </tt> command. 
[[File:DOS File List 005.PNG|500px]] 
<li> Add the necessary command syntax and file path details left of the .asc file names using your preferred text editor ([[NotepadPlusPlus_Tips | Notepad++]] or [[UltraEdit_Tips | UltraEdit]]) using column edit mode. 
[[File:DOS File List 006.PNG|500px]] 
<li> After running the TUFLOW model for the first time, use the [[TUFLOW_Check_Files | _DEM_Z.flt]] and / or [[TUFLOW_Check_Files | _zpt_check]] simulation check files to confirm there are no topography data gaps. Do this by completing a search query for the global model elevation value that was used (in this example = <tt>2000</tt>). If the global model elevation value is present within the check files, this represents a gap in your ALS topography dataset that requires correction or additional data.
