Listing files in a directory in Clojure

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?

Solution

  • Use file-seq function.

    Usage example: 

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