This is a simple script that creates a list of names for the files/folder within the same directory and outputs it to a text file. The name of the output text file is needed as a parameter. Created and Tested on Windows OS.
Note(s):
-The python script name itself is excluded.
-Possible improvement is to have the script run a recursive function to search through the folders within the main directory and return sub file/folder names. (See https://github.com/homerflander/List-Directory-File-NamesV2)
-Created and Tested on Windows OS.
