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

To make the modified code match the functionality of original sample code you should add the call to get the file names, like this.

(def directory (clojure.java.io/file "/path/to/directory"))
(def files 
    (for [file (file-seq directory)] (.getName file)))
(take 10 files)
