Lua programming - os.execute() is not working in Windows

Question

I\'m creating a function in pure-Lua to scan the files from a directory and put they on a another file.

The command I tryed was:

os.execute( \"dir /B C:         


        

Answer 1

os.execute('cmd.exe /c dir /B C:\\> C:\\test.txt')

That works. Useing Linux-style commands in win is a bad idea at all =)
