Hi, I'm trying to make a program to make it easy to rename files in bulk. What I'm wondering is how to get a list of all files in a particular directory. I found System.Posix.Files and I'm planning on using the rename function in it for actually renaming, but I can't find an easy way to get all filenames in a particular directory. Does anyone know how to do it? -Eitan
Look in System.Directory; specifically, getDirectoryContents should do what you want. You might also check out the FileManip package, which provides some convenient functionality for finding all files which match a particular pattern.

Thanks. This looks like exactly what I was looking for. I feel silly for not finding it myself. =P -Eitan Gregory Crosswhite wrote:

Also, I believe System.Directory should be portable, whereas (presumably) POSIX-stuff is a little less portable. (This may or may not be important to you. If it is, you may be interested in System.FilePath also...)
