lists of file names in a book

[Melody Foreman]

Does anyone know how to generate a list of file names in a book?

[Arnis Gubins · Accepted solution]

Indirectly, you can save the .book file as a MIF. Then for the MIF use a text editor to look for "<FileName". If your editor, such as UltraEdit, has the  capability to list all lines containing the search string, then you can copy all hits  to the clipboard and paste it to another file for the listing.

Your question isn't clear. What do you mean by "file names in a book?" The

files that make up the book? Files named in the text? Names of graphics

files or text inset files that are imported by reference? Names of graphic

files that were copied into the text? Etc.

To generate a list of filenames you could create a new paragraph format, e. g. #Filename. Then insert a #Filename paragraph that contains only FM's filename variable. Repeat this for every chapter of your book.

Finally generate a list of paragraphs for the book, which lists all #Filename paragraphs.You may want to remove <$pagenum> from the LOP reference page so that it doesn't appear in the output.

If you have that generated list, you can either include it as part of the book or save as text to get a list of files externally. If you are just after the filenames, Arnis' suggestion is probably easier.
