 Function fs.list | |
| Returns a list of all the files (including subdirectories) contained in a directory, as a numerically indexed table. | |
| Syntax | fs.list(string path) |
| Returns | table list of files and folders in path, which must be a directory |
| Part of | ComputerCraft |
| API | fs |
Examples
 Example | |
| Displays a list of all files and folders in the root directory of a computer | |
| Code |
local FileList = fs.list("") --Table with all the files and directories available
for _, file in ipairs(FileList) do --Loop. Underscore because we don't use the key, ipairs so it's in order
print(file) --Print the file name
end --End the loop
|
| Output | A list of all files and folders in the root directory as a table. Note that fs.list() could also be inserted directly into ipairs() or pairs(). |
