    I'm not sure what you mean by the first 40 characters? I don't seem to have any problem removing any text. Are the characters letters?

    I can remove the text i just don't want to hightlight 300 lines and then delete. I just want to keep the names of the movies after the date and the file size. For Ex:

    Before

    01/21/2010 01:35 AM 1,588,944,896 1 Day.avi
    12/06/2009 01:08 AM 733,634,560 2012 CD 1.avi
    12/06/2009 01:08 AM 734,705,664 2012 CD 2.avi

    After

    1 Day.avi
    2012 CD 1.avi
    2012 CD 2.avi

    I'm not proficient in Word.

    Try doing the generating the list using the dir /b >movielist.txt command. You can then open that file in Word and save it as a .doc file if you like.

    If you then want to doublespace the file in Word it is easy just Open Help and Search for Double Space it gives two options.

    You're welcome. Glad it helped. :)

    A few more switches available to the dir command if you ever want to experiment.
