ls
- Lists the files in the current working directory of the cartridge storage area.
dir
- Alias for
ls
.
You execute this system command at the PICO-8 prompt.
Unlike the ls
command of some operating systems, this command does not take arguments. To see the contents of a directory (folder) in the cartridge storage area, first use the cd
command to change the current working directory, then use ls
.
The dir
command is an alias for this command.
This command can also be used by a program as a function: ls()
The return value is a table of filenames. This returns the names of files only, and does not return subdirectories.
Examples
At the command prompt:
> cd demos > ls
In code:
-- get the list of files
files = ls()
