HTML img src stuff

[TonTo]

ok, here's what i want to do....
i have a website, that i use just for putting pics of party's and what not up.

I manualy create the HTML files through notepad.
what i need is a program, that will lookat the contents of a folder, and output the names.... so I don't have to manualy create those huge txt files...... any idea's?

I did this in photoshop once. As for how I did it, I don't have a clue anymore.

Do you want it to show all the images in the directory, or just links to them?

Here's how I do stuff like that: dir and Excel.

Go to the folder, shoot up a command prompt, type dir *.jpg *.jpeg *.gif *.png > listing.txt (this will list all jpegs, gifs and pngs, piping the output into listing.txt)

Then open up Excel, drag in listing.txt, and go Data -> Text To Columns. Choose Fixed Width, and put a delimiter at the beginning of the file names, then hit Finish. Then delete everything except the filenames, and in column A write something like <br><img src="; in the column after the filenames just write ">.

Then drag the bottom right blob on those cells to get them to fill the whole column...

Then copy back to Notepad. Voila - great HTML with guaranteed correct spelling, capitalisation, plus you get to decide exactly what goes either side of the image filenames!

Try it... it works!

Hey, I never thought of that. I used CoffeeCup to make the listing for me though. That's cool.
