Is there a tutorial somewhere on writing a file browser? I know Mike Haggar and several others have already done it.
Thanks. |

I don't think there is such a documentation regarding the output of current directory function. All I know is that the output is a list of "subtables" and a few members. Only source I could find for more info is in Lowser. script.
Someone needs to doc the table structure for the output.

Each indice of the results of System.listDirectory(), has three parts.
name: the name of the file
size: the size of the file in bytes
directory: a boolean saying whether the file is a directory/folder
heres a quick example of a code to display the names all files on the root of the memory stick:
| Code: |
contents = System.listDirectory("ms0:/")
for k in ipairs(contents) do
print(contents[k].name)
end

Is that all, just three indices? What about dates? I wonder.

When you print all values of an indice by doing the following:
| Code: | | table.foreach(contents[1], print) |
Those are the only three you get. |
