;Task: Write a program that will list everything in the current folder, similar to: :::* the Unix utility “ls” [http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/ls.1.html] 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

Common Lisp
In some implementations, (directory) results automatically include subdirectories (e.g. SBCL); some require them to be requested separately (e.g. CLISP).
The function below asks for both and then removes any duplicates from the resulting list.
The workhorse is files-list, which returns a list of filenames. The ls function sorts the resulting list and formats it for output.
(defun files-list (&optional (path "."))
(let* ((dir (concatenate 'string path "/"))
(abs-path (car (directory dir)))
(file-pattern (concatenate 'string dir "*"))
(subdir-pattern (concatenate 'string file-pattern "/")))

(mapcar (lambda (p) (enough-namestring p abs-path))
(mapcan #'directory (list file-pattern subdir-pattern)))

Works with .NET framework 4.
let ls = DirectoryInfo(".").EnumerateFileSystemInfos() |> Seq.map (fun i -> i.Name) |> Seq.sort |> Seq.iter (printfn "%s")
Prior to .NET4 you had to enumerate files and directories separately.
The call to sort is probably redundant, since "sorted by name" seems to be the default in Windows.
Forth
This is much easier without the 'sorted output' requirement:
256 buffer: filename-buf
: each-filename { xt -- } \ xt-consuming variant
s" ." open-dir throw { d }
begin filename-buf 256 d read-dir throw while
filename-buf swap xt execute
repeat d close-dir throw ;
\ immediate variant
: each-filename[ s" ." postpone sliteral ]] open-dir throw >r begin filename-buf 256 r@ read-dir throw while filename-buf swap [[ ; immediate compile-only
: ]each-filename ]] repeat drop r> close-dir throw [[ ; immediate compile-only
: ls ( -- ) [: cr type ;] each-filename ;
Given that requirement, we must first generate a sorted array of filenames: {{libheader|Forth Foundation Library}}
: save-string ( c-addr u -- a )
dup 1+ allocate throw dup >r place r> ;
require ffl/car.fs
: sorted-filenames ( -- car )
0 car-new { a }
[: swap count rot count compare ;] a car-compare!
each-filename[ save-string a car-insert-sorted ]each-filename
a ;
: each-sorted-filename ( xt -- )
sorted-filenames { a } a car-execute [: free throw ;] a car-execute a car-free ;
: ls ( -- )
[: count cr type ;] each-sorted-filename ;
Fortran
This is possible only for those Fortran compilers that offer some sort of interface with the operating system's file handling routines. Not standard at all!
PROGRAM LS !Names the files in the current directory.
USE DFLIB !Mysterious library.
TYPE(FILE$INFO) INFO !With mysterious content.
NAMELIST /HIC/INFO !This enables annotated output.
INTEGER MARK,L !Assistants.
MARK = FILE$FIRST !Starting state.
Call for the next file.
10 L = GETFILEINFOQQ("*",INFO,MARK) !Mystery routine returns the length of the file name.
IF (MARK.EQ.FILE$ERROR) THEN !Or possibly, not.
WRITE (6,*) "Error!",L !Something went wrong.
WRITE (6,HIC) !Reveal INFO, annotated.
STOP "That wasn't nice." !Quite.
ELSE IF (IAND(INFO.PERMIT,FILE$DIR) .EQ. 0) THEN !Not a directory.
IF (L.GT.0) WRITE (6,*) INFO.NAME(1:L) !The object of the exercise!
END IF !So much for that entry.
IF (MARK.NE.FILE$LAST) GO TO 10 !Lastness is discovered after the last file is fingered.
END !If FILE$LAST is not reached, "system resources may be lost."
This relies on the supplied routine GETFILEINFOQQ, which is not at all a standard routine, but it does behave in the same way as is found in many other systems, notably with a file name selection filter, here chosen to be "*" meaning "any file". It supplies successive file names and requires mysterious parameters to keep track of what it is doing. In the installation file C:/Compilers/Furrytran/Compaq Furrytran 6.6a CD/X86/DF/INCLUDE/DFLIB.F90, there is the following segment:
INTERFACE
INTEGER*4 FUNCTION GETFILEINFOQQ(FILES, BUFFER,dwHANDLE)
!DEC$ ATTRIBUTES DEFAULT :: GETFILEINFOQQ
CHARACTER*(*) FILES
STRUCTURE / FILE$INFO /
INTEGER*4 CREATION ! Creation time (-1 on FAT)
INTEGER*4 LASTWRITE ! Last write to file
INTEGER*4 LASTACCESS ! Last access (-1 on FAT)
INTEGER*4 LENGTH ! Length of file
INTEGER*2 PERMIT ! File access mode
CHARACTER*255 NAME ! File name
END STRUCTURE
RECORD / FILE$INFO / BUFFER
INTEGER*4 dwHANDLE
END FUNCTION
END INTERFACE
Getting this to work was quite annoying. It turned out that the irritating "files" . and .. are deemed a directory (via the bit in INFO.PERMIT matching that of FILE$DIR = 16) and so can be skipped along with proper subdirectories, but the "PERMIT" value of -1 returned for the FILE$LAST state also matches, though its (non-existent) file name length is given as zero. Thus, if one skips directories filter-style by IF ... GO TO 10, in such a case the end will never be seen. Further, although Fortran syntax allows INFO.PERMIT .AND. FILE$DIR the bit values of logical variables are strange. Instead, what is needed is IAND(INFO.PERMIT,FILE$DIR)
Further vexation was due to the compiler's "help" system giving PERMIT as a 32-bit integer in its example. Copying the declaration to give a type name not involving a dollar symbol foundered because the type checking done by the compiler for the parameters of the function is based not on the contents of the type matching, but on the name of the type matching. So, one is stuck with the $. In a mood for retaliation, some special tests were made, involving a pause for input after each name was revealed. Removing the file just named before responding to the request for input did not prevent the next file from being named, nor (in another run) did removing the file next to be named: although it was gone, it was still named in the next step as if it were still there, and this worked even if INFO.NAME were scrubbed each time as well. Evidently, there could arise transient problems when using this scheme in a file system undergoing turbulence.
As for the ordering of results, on this Windows XP system, the file names came out ordered so there is no need to mess about with a storage area to sort the names in.

Jsi provides a '''File''' module with a '''glob''' method.
# help File.glob
File.glob(pattern:regexp|string|null='*', options:function|object|null=void):array
Return list of files in dir with optional pattern match.
With no arguments (or null) returns all files/directories in current directory.
The first argument can be a pattern (either a glob or regexp) of the files to return.
When the second argument is a function, it is called with each path, and filter on false.
Otherwise second argument must be a set of options.
To emulate ''ls'', sorted, one entry per line:
puts(File.glob().sort().join('\n'));

PARI/GP
GP doesn't have this capability so we can either use the shell or PARI. For the latter see [[#C|C]]; for the former:
system("dir/b/on")
in DOS/Windows or
system("ls")
in *nix.
Pascal
This is the example in the Turbo Pascal 4 manual. With Turbo Pascal and old-style DOS file names, all file names come out in capitals, further, names not fitting into the "8.3" style (of up to eight characters followed by an extension of up to three characters) are presented with ad-hoc names fitting that style, so for example, Tab2Comma.exe comes out as TAB2CO~1.EXE. The same source file compiles unchanged via the Free Pascal compiler, whereupon long file names appear with capitals and lower-case letters rather than all-capitals.
When tested via Windows XP, the names came out in sorted order (ignoring case) however in earlier systems the files would be presented in entry order. That is, if files a, c, b were saved, they would be named in that order. Then, if file c were deleted and then a file named x were added, they would be named in the order a, x, b. In this case, a scheme for saving an unknown number of names (of unknown length) would be needed so that they could be sorted. Perhaps some linked-list with an insertionsort for each added name...
Program ls; {To list the names of all files/directories in the current directory.}
Uses DOS;
var DirInfo: SearchRec; {Predefined. See page 403 of the Turbo Pascal 4 manual.}
BEGIN
FindFirst('*.*',AnyFile,DirInfo); {AnyFile means any file name OR directory name.}
While DOSerror = 0 do {Result of FindFirst/Next not being a function, damnit.}
begin
WriteLn(DirInfo.Name);
FindNext(DirInfo);
end;
END.
Perl
opendir my $handle, '.' or die "Couldnt open current directory: $!";
while (readdir $handle) {
print "$_\n";
}

Alternatively, using glob:
print "$_\n" for glob '*';
print "$_\n" for glob '* .*'; # If you want to include dot files

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.

REXX
The following program works under Windows and used the Windows DIR command to list a bare-bones sorted list.
/*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.*/
Notes on the options used for the '''DIR''' command: ::::* '''b''' is for '''b'''are format (no heading information or summary). ::::* '''o''' is for '''o'''rder, and it orders (sorts) by file '''N'''ame.

Dir.foreach("./"){|n| puts n}
This will output all files including hidden ones e.g. '.' and '..'.

Dir.cwd.open.each { |file|
file ~~ < . .. > && next;
content.append(file);
}
content.sort.each { |file|
say file;
}
Implicit, by using the String.glob method:
'*'.glob.each { |file|
say file;
}
Standard ML
OS.Process.system "ls -a"
Doing it all by yourself:
local (* make a sort function *)
val rec insert = fn s :string =>fn [] => [s]
| ll as h::t => if s<=h then s::ll else h::insert s t;
in
val rec sort = fn [] => [] | h::t => insert h (sort t)
end;
open Posix.FileSys ;
val istream = opendir "." ;
val ll = ref [readdir istream] ;
while ( isSome (hd (!ll)) ) do ( ll:=readdir istream :: !ll );
val result = List.map valOf (tl (!ll));
closedir istream ;
sort result;
Stata
Stata has a builtin '''[http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?dir dir]''' command (or equivalently '''ls''').

zkl
File.glob("*").sort()
Lists all files and directories in the current directory. If you only want a list of files:
File.glob("*",0x8).sort()
{{out}}
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:
File.globular("Src",*,True,0x10,List).sort().concat("\n")
