Check folder and return file names in folder

[harryh]

Would it be possible for me to check what files are  in a folder and save them in a table

For example:

local files = {}

fileCheck("/mods")

returns

all files in folder

tableinsert(files, server.lua)

tableinsert(files,client.lua)

tableinsert(files,text.dff)

tableinsert(files,meta.xml)

tableinsert(files,color.txd)

fileExists ( string filePath )

I mean without needing to put a file path like.

like 

its I type fileExists(/mods/*) will it return file names for all in directory

I don't think that's possible, at least I can't find a function and also have never seen it done.
If you want to save some sort of dynamic files you will either have to make a list of them e.g. create a files.txt/xml and add a file name every time you create a file.
Or have the names in some sort of relation, e.g map name, player account, etc.
Whichever fits better for what you are planning.
