Find and list all files/folders in a folder in Haxe

Question

This question is in principal the same like these ones here

• How to read all files in a folder from Java?
• How do I list all files of a directory?
• ...

But is there a way to do the same in on sys target platforms in Haxe, without running ls / dir via sys.io.Process and parsing the results?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use sys.FileSystem.readDirectory(path) for this.

Returns the names of all files and directories in the directory specified by path.

If path does not denote a valid directory, an exception is thrown.

If path is null, the result is unspecified.

If you need files to be listed recursively, this article from the Haxe Code Cookbook is a good reference (there's a section titled "Recursive loop through all directories / files").
