I could recommend another program (for instance DiskTracker, search 
versiontracker for more info) but if you only want to use Finders own 
features you could try something as simple as to select everything 
you want to index, and then copy and paste the text into the 
Texteditor. If you do it the right way you will only get the names of 
the files (I tried this at a Tiger demo and we several times copied 
the folder look (and not the name), so I am not sure how it should be 
done in Tiger.) One bad thing with this method: you don't get the 
rest on the finder info, no size for instance, just the names. Also: 
in my language I have to use the column view when copying the names, 
otherwise the names aren't sorted alphabetically in the texteditor.

I hope this was helpfull to you! Otherwise I hope someone else have 
better ideas.
