You can get a full Listing by :
You will need to user recursion if you want to process subdirs too.
Reading Variables from a File is rather easy :
This only works, when the file you are reading is in LUA. To prevent errors, use :
If you want a full Directory-Listing Function, you may checkout my klib-API Package,
File : klib_files
Functions : ListEx, ListExR
local Listing = fs.list(<PATH>)
You will need to user recursion if you want to process subdirs too.
Reading Variables from a File is rather easy :
local tEnv = {}
os.run(tEnv, <PATH>)
-- Get a Var with name <NAME>
local Var = tEnv[<NAME>]
This only works, when the file you are reading is in LUA. To prevent errors, use :
pcall(os.run, tEnv, <PATH>)

File : klib_files

In the first post, open the Downloads section spoiler, and click the >>DOWNLOAD<< Link. Save the .zip and extract it. The API you need is in /apis/generic/klib_files. It requires a function from /apis/generic/klib_util, but you may CopyPaste that into this file, assuming you dont want to install the whole Package.
In case you do want to, read the Installation section.
