Output folder contents into text file

Hello, everyone.

I am new to automator, and I'd like to learn how to use it. Recently, someone asked me if there was a way that they could select a folder and somehow dump the filenames of all items in that folder (non-recursively) to a text file. It seems to me that this is the sort of thing that Automator would be able to do. Can anyone give me some tips on how I might go about doing this?

I also figured this might be possible with a custom bash command. I am more experienced with bash and Unix command line, so if there is a better option there, please let me know. I just figured I would check here first.

Thanks!
