System.listDirectory()

[cools]

Whenever I use that function, it never works the way I want it to. All I want to do is list the contents in a directory, but I just cant seem to do it. It will always return errors about stuff. Well all help is apprciated!

ahh... newbs cant ever read any tutorials

System.listDirectory() returns a table not a string. you can only print strings to the screen using screen:print() you must turn the table into string by listing its contents with a function. look at how it lists the connection configs in the Wlan sample, just replace the configs = Wlan.getConnectionConfigs() so it says configs = System.listDirectory and learn how to use google and dont freaking say that u did.

that was totally uncalled for be2003.

But heres the answer you are waiting for.

Code: Select all

file_list = System.listDirectory() 
for key, file in file_list do
print("File Name".. file.name.." : ".. file.size)
if (file.directory()) then
-- this is where you put directory stuff

end


end
