List all files in a folder

If you want a list of plain-text ¹ filenames use…
list folder (choose folder)
or
list folder some_alias

If you want a list of Finder references…
tell app "Finder" to get items of (choose folder)
or
tell app "Finder" to get items of some_alias

<hr> ¹You could then format these into a plain-text list, if that's what you're after. But remember that the Finder already supports this by copying a selection of files and pasting them to, say, a TextEdit document. Dragging and dropping a selection on a TextEdit document will include the full POSIX-style path for each file.

Hi Don,

set the_files to (list folder (choose folder) without invisibles)

will give you a list of all the names of files in the folder you choose.

Tell application "Finder" to set the_files to get every file of folder (choose folder)

will give you a list of full Finder references.

Cheers,

H
