Is it possible to loop trough EVERY file in DATA folder and subfolders?

[Z.]

Hi !
local files,directories = file.Find("*","DATA")
for _,f in ipairs(files) do
print(f)
end

for _,dir in ipairs(directories) do
local files = file.Find(dir .. "/*","DATA")
for _,f in ipairs(files) do
print(f)
end
end
Here is my loop by now, but i wonder if it's possible to enhance it so it prints ALL files in the DATA folder, atm it only print files and first folder files :/

Do you mean subfolders?

More or less, i'm interested in printing all the files in the DATA folder

Something like this might work, haven't tested and also not the best way of doing it as you may run into call stack size issues.
local function doFileAction(files)
    for _,f in ipairs(files) do
        print(f)
    end
end

local function searchDir(directories)
    for _,dir in ipairs(directories) do
        local files, dirs2 = file.Find(dir .. "/*","DATA")
        doFileAction(files)
        searchDir(dirs2)
    end
end

local files,directories = file.Find("*","DATA")
doFileAction(files)
searchDir(directories)

I will test that tomorrow, thanks a lot i was thinking about this kind of algo but yeah callstack can be a problem here...
