- Open the DOS command prompt.
- If necessary, change the drive location (example syntax: D: then press Enter)
- Navigate to the folder location where you would like to write a list of the folders contained within it (example syntax: cd D:\Example\TUFLOW\model\grid then press Enter)
- Write a text file listing the folder contents using the following syntax dir > filename.txt
A text file called filename.txt will be written containing a list of all the files contained within the folder.
This DOS file report is useful during TUFLOW modelling if topography ALS 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 data layering within the TGC can be used to read each *.asc ALS tile into the TUFLOW flood model.
- Open filename.txt in Notepad++ or UltraEdit.
- Turn on column edit mode. this is done in Notepad++ by holding in Alt prior to and during a selection
