I made a simple Windows Edxplorere snipet ages ago using the text command and some images - I'll try and find it.

If you want a standard windows box, then I have a dll that wil do what you want.

http://www.darkbasicpro.com/apollo/view.php?t=4118&b=6 is the link to my snippet.

Basically, use the perform checklist for files comand to build a list of files, then run a loop through this list and print out the results.

pseudo-code:

perform checklist for files

for i = 1 to number of items
print checklist string$(i)
next i

I used it in Lip Sync Lab to load WAVs and save text files, and it works great.
