Code:

getFileList(Path:string, searchMask:string OPTIONAL, SearchSubDirs: boolean OPTIONAL, DirAttrib: integer OPTIONAL): Returns an indexed table with filenames
getDirectoryList(Path:string, SearchSubDirs: boolean OPTIONAL): Returns an indexed table with directory names

e.g:

Code:

return getFileList(getCheatEngineDir())

Code:

return getFileList(getCheatEngineDir())

attempt to call a nil value (global 'getFileList'), when tested using CE 6.4 / CE 6.5.1

If mean to listing files in a folder, here is code :

Code:

for dir in io.popen([[dir "C:\Program Files\" /b /ad]]):lines() do print(dir) end

Code:

local f = io.popen("dir \"C:\\users\\\"")
if f then
print(f:read("*a"))
else
print("failed to read")
end

First code to get (example) all files in C:\Program Files
and second code to get info about Directory given

I was able to do what I wanted. I changed "/ ad" to "/ a" and it worked as I wanted.

Code:

for i in io.popen([[dir "C:\log\language\" /b /a]]):lines() do print(i) end
