Jython to read contents of directory or folder

[R Schroeter]

I want Jython to read the contents of a directory or folder, to display what folder or directories are in it, and then to use those names in my program.

------------------------------------------------
I am given the following:

1. Consider this folder structure:

C:/_rob/profile1/plugin-cfg.xml
C:/_rob/profile2/plugin-cfg.xml
C:/_rob/profile3/plugin-cfg.xml

2. I need to read each plugin-cfg.xml.
3. I don't know the NAME of the folders in _rob, NOR do I know how many folders there are in _rob.

I do know that each will have a plugin-cfg.xml.

//-----------------------------------------------------
//Java version would look something like this:
//
 
File robFile = new File("C:\\_rob");
System.out.print(robFile.canRead()); // gives true
System.out.println(robFile.isDirectory()); // gives true
String []listDirectories = robFile.list(); // makes array of 3 Strings
for(int i=0; i<listDirectories.length; i++){ // for each one,
   System.out.print(listDirectories[i].toString()); // print dir name
}

Not much help out there for jython. Figured this out by a lot of painful trial and error. Hope this helps someone.

import java.io as io
 
robFile = io.File("C:\\_robjython\\_rob");
 
print "Can read this file? -", robFile.canRead()
print "This is a directory? -", robFile.isDirectory()
 
listDirs = robFile.list();
 
print "Number of dirs in folder? -", len(listDirs)
 
for x in range(0, len(listDirs), 1):
print listDirs[x]

Use Print directory to print the directory listing to a file..
