Can I list the filenames within a folder?

Hi all. I'm trying to get a list of all of the filenames within a folder, like what an "ls" command returns for a directory in a terminal shell. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

See the "files" function in the Dictionary, and note the nifty "detailed files" option.

Hi.

What Richard said.

And if you are poking around getting files, then know that there is, as you might imagine, a "folders" function that does much the same thing. Between the two, you can poke to your hearts content.

Thanks Craig. And thanks also Richard. I've been a Fourth World fan going back 30 years to the SuperCard forums, so I'm feeling a little starstruck at you replying.

Wow. Thank you.

I remember your name from the SC world. Very good to see you here. What are you working on these days?

Nice to be remembered, Richard!. I ended up being a TV producer for a number of years, and then came back to doing interactive stuff. I'm currently working with a group on an interactive toy called Snorble - https://snorble.com/. It sits in a lighted charging stand with programmable LEDs, and I was brought on to provide animation sequences for the LEDs. Long story short - The software they were using for it was not great and the company that produces it told us they'd need a seven or eight figure order in order to justify updating the software. So at that point, I said "well, I know a little programming", and now I've built a piece of custom LED animation software using LC! It's nice to dust off the old skills, for sure.
