Directory iteration | LuaRT free and open source Windows programming framework for Lua

Directory iteration iterable

Directories are iterable through the Lua^rt helper function each(), returning the next entry in the folder with each loop iteration. The folder must exist to iterate through its content.

Each iteration returns either a File or a Directory value

Example


-- iterate through all current directory content
for entry in each(sys.Directory(".")) do
	if type(entry) == "File" then
		print(entry.name)
	else -- entry is a directory
		print(entry.fullpath:match("\\.*\\([%w%p]+)$").."\\")
	end
end
