Default Is there a way to turn a folder's filenames into a text file?

Ah snap. Now you caught me asleep at the wheel.


... But not always.

And therein lay the rub - exactly when is it 'not always'?
And no, 'when it isn't' is not much help. It is funny though.


Same with me actually, I just knew about that backslash being an escape
character, and how to use it to embed doublequotes in a string.

And that's my takeawsy lesson. Only after you've explained it I can see what is going on there such that I can understand it's need and utility. Before I was left with why the offset, which part are they talking about again? True understanding of it was never achieved then.
Thanks Rudy, it's been fun.
