any advice on listing files and directories in a table?

Like the "list" program instead I would like it in a table and I would like to format it in my custom OS.

thanks!

The best advice that comes to my mind: check the list program source to know how it works. It actually gets the files and directories in a table (fs.list(path) returns a table) and then sorts it.

thats what I would do without wasting your time but I don't have access to the source because I am using Tekkit and when I run the command "edit list" the program is empty.

also thank you for not just giving me the code. I prefer to learn the syntax and proper use through documentation.

You can't edit list, because it doesn't exist (in the root directory).

You need to edit the file, which is located in:

rom/programs/
