Getting File Extensions from a Folder

Just found this....

I was needing to find a way to pull out all of the file extensions in bulk so they could be imported into Salesforce in one way or another.

Simply open the command prompt and type the following

dir c:\users\josh\desktop\foldername /b /s >c:\users\josh\desktop\outputfile.txt

The /b gives you a 'bare' file with just the extensions and nothing else

The /s gives you all of the sub-folders within that folder that you are looking into

The '>c:\users\josh\desktop\outputfile.txt' outputs the file into a text document
