Grid paper.png  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
