Returns a table with the names of files and subdirectories in the specified path. The table is not sorted in anyway; the order is undefined.
If the path passed to the function exists in the game and the save directory, it will list the files and directories from both places.

Function
Synopsis

Arguments
string dir
- The directory.

Examples
Simple Example
local dir = ""
--assuming that our path is full of lovely files (it should at least contain main.lua in this case)
local files = love.filesystem.enumerate(dir)
for k, file in ipairs(files) do
print(k .. ". " .. file) --outputs something like "1. main.lua"
end
Recursively find and display all files and folders in a folder and its subfolders.
function love.load()
filesString = recursiveEnumerate("", "")
end
-- This function will return a string filetree of all files
-- in the folder and files in all subfolders
function recursiveEnumerate(folder, fileTree)
local lfs = love.filesystem
local filesTable = lfs.enumerate(folder)
for i,v in ipairs(filesTable) do
local file = folder.."/"..v
if lfs.isFile(file) then
fileTree = fileTree.."\n"..file
elseif lfs.isDirectory(file) then
fileTree = fileTree.."\n"..file.." (DIR)"
fileTree = recursiveEnumerate(file, fileTree)
end
end
return fileTree
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.print(filesString, 0, 0)
end
