Hi there,

I am wondering if there is a way to list the names (or getting the
names into a list) of all directories under the current directory ?

I am just trying to process all files under all directory under the
current directory. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards
S-Y. Chen

If you use [glob] to get a list of all the files in the directory, and
then use [file isdirectory] to determine which of those files are
directories, you shouldn't go far wrong.

Good luck

A little reading of the glob man/help page shows that glob also takes a
-types option whose values can control what type (e.g. directories) of files
it will return.

Here are a couple of simple procs which might be of some small assistance
no warranty, no refunds, no nothing ...

#
# return all files in a given directory ...
proc listFiles { D } {
set typ {f r}
set fls [ glob -nocomplain -directory $D -type $typ -- * ]
set ret [list]
foreach f $fls {
lappend ret [file tail $f]
}
return [lsort $ret ]
}

#
# return a list of directories within a path ...
proc listTree {{dir .}} {
set res {}
lappend res $dir
foreach i [lsort [glob -nocomplain -dir $dir -- *]] {
if {[file type $i]=="directory"} {
lappend res $i
eval lappend res [listTree $i]
}
}
set res [ lsort -unique $res ]
return $res
}
