Listing files in a directory in Clojure

Question

How can I create a list out of all of the files in a specific directory in Clojure? Do I have to resort to calling Java or can Clojure handle this natively?

Answer 1

(use 'clojure.java.io)
(-> "/tmp" file .listFiles)

The latter expression is an array of File-objects returned from the method listFiles, called on the file-object created from the path "/tmp". This is a fancy way to write:

(.listFiles (file "/tmp"))
