Unix/ls
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Write a program that will list everything in the current folder, similar to the Unix utility “ls” [1] (or the Windows terminal command “DIR”). The output must be sorted, but printing extended details and producing multi-column output is not required.
- Example output
For the list of paths:
/foo/bar /foo/bar/1 /foo/bar/2 /foo/bar/a /foo/bar/b
When the program is executed in `/foo`, it should print:
bar
and when the program is executed in `/foo/bar`, it should print:
1 2 a b

AWK
<lang AWK>
- syntax: GAWK -f UNIX_LS.AWK * | SORT
BEGINFILE {
printf("%s\n",FILENAME) nextfile
} END {
exit(0)
} </lang>
sample commands and output under Windows 8:
REM create folders and files MKDIR c:\foo\bar CD /D c:\foo\bar GAWK "BEGIN{x=\"12ab\";for(i=1;i<=length(x);i++){print(i)>substr(x,i,1)}}" REM run test CD /D c:\foo GAWK -f UNIX_LS.AWK * | SORT bar CD /D c:\foo\bar GAWK -f UNIX_LS.AWK * | SORT 1 2 a b
Clojure
<lang clojure>(def files (sort (filter #(= "." (.getParent %)) (file-seq (clojure.java.io/file ".")))))
(doseq [n files] (println (.getName n)))</lang>
D
<lang d>void main() {
import std.stdio, std.file, std.path;
foreach (const string path; dirEntries(getcwd, SpanMode.shallow)) path.baseName.writeln;
}</lang>
Go
<lang go>package main
import ( "fmt" "log" "os" "sort" )
func main() { f, err := os.Open(".") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } files, err := f.Readdirnames(0) f.Close() if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } sort.Strings(files) for _, n := range files { fmt.Println(n) } }</lang>
Haskell
<lang haskell>#!/usr/bin/env runghc
import Control.Monad import Data.List import System.Directory
main = do
files <- getDirectoryContents "." mapM_ putStrLn $ sort $ filter (\x -> head x /= '.') files</lang>
J
<lang J> dir '*' NB. includes properties
> 1 dir '*' NB. plain filename as per task</lang>
Mathematica
<lang Mathematica>Column[FileNames[]]</lang>
OCaml
<lang ocaml>let () =
Array.iter print_endline ( Sys.readdir Sys.argv.(1) )</lang>
- Output:
$ cd /foo/bar $ ocaml ls.ml 1 2 a b
PARI/GP
GP doesn't have this capability so we can either use the shell or PARI. For the latter see C; for the former: <lang parigp>system("dir/b/on")</lang> in DOS/Windows or <lang parigp>system("ls")</lang> in *nix.
Perl 6
There is a dir builtin command which returns a list of IO::Path objects. We stringify them all with a hyperoperator before sorting the strings.
<lang perl6>.say for sort ~«dir</lang>
Python
<lang python>>>> import os >>> print('\n'.join(sorted(os.listdir('.')))) DLLs Doc LICENSE.txt Lib NEWS.txt README.txt Scripts Tools include libs python.exe pythonw.exe tcl >>> </lang>
Racket
<lang racket>#lang racket/base (require racket/string racket/file)
(define (ls)
(displayln (string-join (sort (map path->string (directory-list)) string<?) "\n")))
(module+ test
(require tests/eli-tester) (define (make-directory-tree) (make-directory* "foo/bar") (for ((f '("1" "2" "a" "b"))) (with-output-to-file (format "foo/bar/~a"f) #:exists 'replace newline))) (make-directory-tree) (test (parameterize ((current-directory "foo")) (with-output-to-string ls) => "bar\n") (parameterize ((current-directory "foo/bar")) (with-output-to-string ls) => "1\n2\na\nb\n")))</lang>
Both tests pass.
REXX
The following program works under Windows and used the Windows DIR command to list a bare-bones sorted list. <lang rexx>/*REXX program lists contents of current folder (ala mode UNIX's LS). */ 'DIR /b /oN' /*use Windows DIR: sorts & lists.*/
/*stick a fork in it, we're done.*/</lang>
Ruby
<lang ruby> Dir.foreach("./"){|n| puts n} </lang> This will output all files including hidden ones e.g. '.' and '..'.
Rust
<lang rust>use std::os; use std::io::fs;
fn main() { let cwd = os::getcwd(); let info = fs::readdir(&cwd).unwrap();
let mut filenames = Vec::new(); for entry in info.iter() { filenames.push(entry.filename_str().unwrap()); }
filenames.sort(); for filename in filenames.iter() { println!("{}", filename); } }</lang>
Sidef
Explicit, by opening the current working directory: <lang ruby>var content = []; Dir.cwd.open.each { |file|
file ~~ < . .. > && next; content.append(file);
};
content.sort.each { |file|
say file;
};</lang>
Implicit, by using the String.glob method: <lang ruby>'*'.glob.each { |file|
say file;
};</lang>
Tcl
<lang tcl>puts [join [lsort [glob -nocomplain *]] "\n"]</lang>
zkl
<lang zkl>File.glob("*").sort()</lang> Lists all files and directories in the current directory. If you only want a list of files: <lang zkl>File.glob("*",0x8).sort()</lang>
- Output:
L("README","superball","testThemAll.log","zkl.exe","zkl_tests.zip","zkl_vm_src.zip")
The glob method uses Unix shell wild cards.
The globular method recurses down through the directories. It can send results to objects, functions, methods, threads, etc, etc. To get a sorted list of all the directories under the "Src" directory: <lang zkl>File.globular("Src",*,True,0x10,List).sort().concat("\n")</lang>
- Output:
Src/Compiler/ Src/Misc/ Src/Test/ Src/Time/ Src/Utils/ Src/ZenKinetic/ Src/ZenKinetic/Frame_O_Matic/ Src/ZenKinetic/GBalls/ Src/ZenKinetic/Twist and Draw/ Src/ZenKinetic/ZEd
