4217 :: Get filenames

• Joseph (orginal) [2018-09-22T13:35:06+02:00] view original

  Let's say that I have a folder. In that folder I have a file 'main.nim' and another folder 'pictures'.

  In the pictures folder, there is an unknown number of files, like 'summer.png' or 'skydiving.jpg' and more.

  What is the best way to get the names of all the files in the image folder through a for loop? Any functions for that?

  be aware that these are iterators so you must use them in a loop!
