Hi guys,
I may well be too stupid for newlisp. I'm a glutton for punishment, however, so I'll press on :-)
here is the "show-tree" function from the Code Patterns document:
; walks a disk directory and prints all path-file names
;
(define (show-tree dir)
(if (directory dir)
(dolist (nde (directory dir))
(if (and (directory? (append dir "/" nde))
(!= nde ".") (!= nde ".."))
(show-tree (append dir "/" nde))
(println (append dir "/" nde))))))
I've asked about it before. I just can't figure it out. I don't want any output returned that include current or parent directories ( "." and "..").
Once I (you) solve this little dilemma I will be well on my way to world domination.

Why not make the directory function call a bit smarter:
directory dir {^[^.]})
There's a few examples in //http://newlisp.org/introduction-to-newlisp.html#recursiveversion

Enough modesty! If you can use Linux you're much smarter than I am... :)

I doubt it, but thanks. Your solution is easy, and it works fine. Look out world!
