Re: walking a directory tree

["Felipe Albrecht" <felipe.albrecht@...>]

Hi,

yesterday, while I was studing Lua, I did this really simple [and
stupid] library:
http://distphylo.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/distphylo/trunk/ldirlib/
They have 2 functions: dir:cwd(), returning current working directory
and dir:list(), that returns a table of tables with files names and
yours types.

The example, does exactly what you want, walking by directory.

My 2 cents.
